Youth

Neighborhood Connections believes that neighborhood groups need to engage youth in their work and that youth and children can be valued contributors to neighborhood revitalization. Neighborhood Connections has funded youth-led organizations that are working to revitalize neighborhood parks, create public art, do environmental work, and mentor younger children.

In addition, many adult-led grant recipients have received funds to work with youth to connect them to positive activities and to caring adults. From athletic programs to rites of passage programs, Neighborhood Connections’ grant recipients are working throughout the city to make Cleveland a great place to live.

Check out some of these valuable resources for youth and for youth-serving organizations.
