Connection Point

This November, we celebrate #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth. The Indigenous people, on whose land we all live, embody many traditions, unique cultures, and a legacy stretching back seven generations. While just one month will never be enough to capture the indelible mark Native American and Indigenous people made and continue to make in our society, we use this time to celebrate their strength, resilience, and contributions. This month and every month, let us listen, learn, and uplift Indigenous voices as we continue the journey toward equity and understanding. #NativeAmericanHistory #IndigenousVoices #RepresentationMatters

Happy spooky season from Team CP! Hoping your #Halloween is filled with more treats than tricks and a tolerable amount of frights. 🎃👻

At Connection Point, we’re all about making meaningful connections to support community-based organizations in the important work they are doing in communities across the country. In celebration of #NationalMentoringDay, we’d like to point you to Close Ties Leadership Program. Close Ties is a nonprofit organization that equips Black boys with the skills and experiences necessary to lead in the pathways of their choice. They provide students with early exposure to college and career opportunities, in-school mentorship through goal setting and weekly check-ins, and social-emotional support through weekly sessions aligned to our research-based social-emotional learning curriculum. Their programming is available to boys starting in fifth grade, and they continue to serve as a support system as they matriculate through high school.
