Mission
CONNECTING GENERATIONS PROVIDES THE TOOLS THAT CHILDREN NEED TO BECOME EMOTIONALLY STRONG, RESILIENT, AND SOCIALLY COMPETENT INDIVIDUALS WHO CAN SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATE SCHOOL AND LIFE. WORKING EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH SCHOOLS AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, OUR MENTORING AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING PROGRAMS HELP CHILDREN OVERCOME ADVERSITY, DEVELOP RESILIENCE, AND BUILD A STRONG FOUNDATION OF SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL SKILLS SUCH AS HOW TO SET GOALS, MAKE RESPONSIBLE DECISIONS, MANAGE EMOTIONS, AND BUILD POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH ADULTS AND PEERS. THESE SKILLS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR STUDENTS TO ENGAGE FULLY IN SCHOOL AND TO BECOME ADVOCATES FOR THEIR OWN SUCCESS. OUR WORK DIRECTLY SUPPORTS PUBLIC EDUCATION AND PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE IN HELPING BREAK THE CYCLE OF ADVERSITY IN DELAWARE. OUR VISION IS TO CREATE STRONG, SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES THROUGH COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS THAT CREATE POSITIVE, HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS IN WHICH YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES CAN THRIVE.
