Connections of Tipp City Receives Grant

Have you ever felt like you didn’t belong? Do you remember what it was like in middle school and early high school when you were trying to figure out who you were and where you fit in? We strive to be a space where kids are accepted and know that they are loved and welcomed. Tipp City has no other place for teens to hang out. We want to be a positive and safe space to allow kids to be themselves and learn how to live in peaceful community with one another. Through group mission projects (like picking up trash and mulching the walking trail) we also help teens learn to give back to their community.

The GWYL grant will help maintain a safe and engaging space for teens to gather after school. Funds will help pay rent, provide wi-fi access, provide games and activities, and ensure that there are at least two adults present when the space is open.
