Your Voice, Your Future

Leaders in Northwest Connecticut are making big decisions about the future of our community—but they’re missing the most important voice: Yours.

Stop being the subject. Start being the architect.

We aren’t looking for clients for a program. We’re looking for consultants who know what it’s actually like to live, work, and try to make it in the 860. Come tell the people in charge what you need to gain independence and succeed on your own terms.

GET INVOLVED.

  • Own the Narrative: Tell us exactly what’s standing in your way—and what would actually help you stand on your own two feet.

  • Direct Influence: Your feedback goes directly to our President and CEO to help change how our region supports young people.

  • No Handouts, Just Solutions: This isn't about "help." It’s about building a system that actually works for your generation.

  • We’ve Got You Covered: We provide food at every session and can help with transportation (rides or bus passes) and childcare if you need it.

Want to know more? View our handout for you, your family and other support here.

  • Who: Youth ages 16–24 and their families living in NW Connecticut.

  • What: A 90-minute small group conversation. No PowerPoints, no lectures. Just honest talk.

  • Where: Various locations across the Litchfield Hills (we’ll pick one close to you).

  • When: Dates are being added now—sign up below to get the next invite.

A Note on Privacy: Your honesty is what makes this work. Everything said in these groups is kept confidential. We take notes on the ideas, not the names. We are not a government agency, and we do not report to the courts or social services.
