ConnectiKids connects students facing systemic inequities and other barriers with people, places, and experiences that level the playing field and inspire academic achievement, positive life choices, and big dreams.

We fulfill our youth-empowering, equity-advancing mission in partnership with schools, families, and the community. During the academic year and summer, we provide one-on-one academic tutoring, individualized mentoring, arts and enrichment programs, and community-based learning experiences.
