At Connecting Generations-STFCC, Inc., we value our youth and their opinions. One of our goals is to implement a Youth Advisory Board where youth will bring insightful perspectives. We believe the youth should be responsible for advocating on behalf of their peers. We believe that youth should take ownership of all service-learning dimensions to identify issues and problems needing to be addressed and study the root cause and potential solutions. We will collaborate with the expert community and business partnerships to design and execute the solution and hold/sponsor/lead discussions about changes to empower our youth and the community.

Connecting Generations will strive to provide activities to stimulate youth participation in our programs.

• Etiquette 101
• Life Skills
• Intergenerational Interactions (young and older generations)
• Weekly Library visits where children can obtain library cards and learn how to check out books, how the library works, and obtain or find knowledge using the references and periodicals.
• Cultural classes where youth will learn about different cultural activities, cooking, sewing, dance, and art each week.
• Teen aerobics, where teens learn different forms of exercise and ways to stay fit.
• Youth appreciation night, where youth will honor another youth who has made a difference in their lives or community.
• “Career Discovery” mentoring program where youth are paired with industry leaders in and around the communities for a twelve-week structured learning experience in a wide range of career choices.
