SAC Connect

Organization Description

Mission: To improve mental and physical health outcomes for youth and young adults of color by providing mentorship, leadership development, trauma-informed and culturally responsive support in preparation to transition into adulthood. Vision: SAC Connect seeks to create a network in the community to increase supportive services for youth and young adults that enhance mental health & wellness.
