Serve Connecticut believes that engaging youth in opportunities to lead efforts that benefit their communities contributes to their personal well-being and development and positively impacts their academic engagement, civic engagement, professional development and workforce readiness. We also believe that youth voice and youth action are essential building blocks for our communities’ growth and well-being.

Serve Connecticut seeks to leverage our mission as “the leading voice for service to strengthen communities throughout our state” by connecting, supporting, and amplifying new and existing youth service, service-learning and volunteer initiatives in Connecticut to ensure all of the state’s youth have access to opportunities to serve.

Serve Connecticut is grateful to have the support of the Mott Foundation, the AllState Foundation and America’s Service Commissions (ASC) in funding and facilitating portions of this work.
