Benefits of Campus Connections
Campus Connections benefits both youth participants and the community. At Campus Connections, each week youth have the opportunity to receive one-on-one mentoring that includes assistance with schoolwork, exploring UNC's campus, eating a free healthy dinner, building healthy relationships, and participating in enriching and fun activities.
Campus Connections aims to strengthen youth life skills, self-confidence, and productive engagement with the community. The goals of the program are to promote the resilience and life success of community youth as well as strengthen community systems in order to better serve youth, their families and the greater community. Additionally, Campus Connections strives to prepare UNC students to become community engaged leaders.
Campus Connections is housed in UNC's Department of Applied Psychology and Counselor Education (APCE), the same department houses the Psychological Services Clinic (PSC). The PSC provides counseling and assessment services to Greeley and surrounding communities.
