Support for a Better Future

---

Youth, families, and individuals receive support to meet their basic needs and take meaningful steps toward short and long term goals related to finances, employment, housing, education, family life, and community involvement. Services are personalized to each person’s unique goals and circumstances.

 The Youth Resource Hub offers a safe and welcoming space where young people can access basic needs such as food, clothing, and laundry services, along with connections to supportive community resources. Available by appointment at our Stillwater and Cottage Grove locations. 

 Children gather after school and throughout the summer to engage in fun and enriching activities that support healthy minds, bodies, and spirits. The program emphasizes social emotional growth, creative expression, outdoor activity, and opportunities to build skills in reading, writing, and math.

 Local faith communities and groups partner with The Connect Center to provide a structured one year program that supports families working toward housing stability. Throughout the program, adults and youth set and pursue their goals with guidance from a volunteer community mentor and a broader support network.

 The Host Home Program provides culturally responsive housing for youth ages 18 to 24. Based on individual needs, youth may live with host families for up to one year while receiving a safe place to stay and regular meals. During this time, The Connect Center supports youth as they work toward their personal goals.
