Community Resiliency

We work with our neighbors to build communities that are more connected, supportive, and ready to respond to any challenge.
Examples include support of the homeless response system through the Coordinated Access Network and the Waterbury Homeless Taskforce, support during the flood and water main break, and the work of our Food Resource Collaborative.

 

Youth Opportunity

We create pathways for young people to reach their goals, from early childhood education to college and career success.
Examples include early literacy, early care and education, before and after school care, summer camps, Bridge to Success, and Waterbury Promise.

 

Financial Security

We connect people to education, tools, and job training so they can build financial stability and a stronger future for their families.
Examples include Volunteer Income Tax Assitance (VITA), Beyond VITA, culinary workforce programs, and wealth generation efforts.
