Connect
Building Stronger Bonds Where Men Gather
“Connect helps strengthen, repair and rebuild the bonds between parents and their preteens and teens,” says Vicky Kelly, executive director of the Connect Parent Group Network. Caregivers participating in the program ​“feel more hopeful and effective” notes Kelly, while the involved youth experience fewer ​“struggles with conduct and emotional problems.”
“Barbershops are more than just a place for a cut, they’re a space for connection, healing, and brotherhood.”We partner with trusted local barbers to create safe, supportive spaces for men, especially fathers to gather, share, grow, and support one another through real conversations and community connection.
This program helps reduce isolation, strengthens father-child relationships, and fosters leadership and resilience in communities where it's needed most.
