SUMMARY:Champions for Change 25-26
DESCRIPTION:This annual campaign is a call to action! We are asking YOU to be a Champion for Change and help us raise $20\,000 to support the many programs and services ConnectiKids provides! We need you to walk beside us in this vital work to ensure all kids have opportunities for a brighter future.\n \n  \nConnectiKids provides holistic support to Hartford students at a time when many face growing challenges beyond the reach of schools alone. As Hartford Public Schools contend with a $77 million budget deficit resulting in the loss of nearly 400 staff members\, including essential student support positions\, community-based programs like ConnectiKids play an increasingly important role in reinforcing the ecosystem of care and opportunity around our youth. \nThis support is more critical than ever. In the 2023–24 school year\, over 5\,600 students across Connecticut experienced homelessness\, a 63% increase since 2021\, with Hartford among the communities most deeply affected. These young people are at greater risk of falling behind academically and often lack access to safe spaces\, enrichment opportunities\, and consistent mentorship. \nConnectiKids helps meet those needs by offering not only academic support but also trusted relationships\, creative outlets\, and a strong sense of belonging. In a city still working to overcome longstanding opportunity gaps\, our free programs provide individualized attention and a nurturing environment that complements classroom learning. We’re here to ensure every student we serve is seen\, supported\, and set up to thrive—not just in school\, but in life.
