Making a Commitment with Making Connections

The commitment to improve the well being of Hartford’s vulnerable children and families is shared by each of Making Connections in Hartford's partners. Collectively, our partners provide a wide range of resources and support services to help residents find their own unique pathways toward increased family stability and success. For some this may mean the pursuit of educational opportunities. For others it may be finding family-sustaining work, saving for emergencies or for a car or house or pursuing opportunities to become part of a positive social network. The four primary pathways to better results that our partners offer are:

Career Services
Opportunities that help residents onto the pathway toward family sustaining work and earnings.

Money Management
Opportunities for families to protect, save and grow the money that they earn.

Early Childhood Education
Neighborhood-based and family-centered opportunities to help ensure that young children are healthy and prepared to succeed in school.

Resident Leadership Services
Leadership training opportunities for residents who want to have their voices heard when decisions are being made that affect them, their families and neighborhoods
