Mission Statement
ConnCAT is positioned to be a beacon of hope for the New Haven community, and offers opportunities for individuals to break the cycle of poverty and have a better, more sustainable way of life. At ConnCAT, everyone has the opportunity to be great.
About This Cause
Inspired by the vision of lifelong community leader Bill Strickland and the success of the award-winning Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild and Bidwell Training Center, ConnCAT opened in August 2012 in New Haven based on a simple philosophy – that every human being, despite the circumstances of his or her birth, is born full of potential, and that the way to unlock that potential is to place individuals in a nurturing environment and expose them to the kind of stimulating and empowering creative experiences that feed the human spirit. We believe that creating a beautiful physical space for those with little hope can lead to trans-formative life experiences. The mission of ConnCAT is to to inspire, motivate, and prepare youth and adults for educational and career advancement, through after-school arts, and job training programming. Our vision is to create a learning environment that inspires hope, innovation, creativity and excellence while providing a path for individuals to revitalize the landscape of the urban community. This mission is accomplished through the training of unemployed and under-employed adults for market relevant jobs and the provision of high quality afterschool arts programming for a targeted urban youth student population identified as being at risk of dropping out of school.
