YOUTH PROGRAMS

ConnCAT provides a safe space where middle and high school students can explore their creative talents in the company of supportive peers and instructors.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, all programs are offered at no cost to participants. ConnCAT’s year-round calendar provides multiple opportunities for interested youth. 

ConnCAT youth programs focus efforts on increasing interest in the arts to encourage youth to feel empowered to pursue any area of interest with confidence.

Participants in middle and high school from the Greater New Haven area will design and conduct science experiments, build structures, ask questions, and find answers, all while applying their math and science learning to visual, music, and technical arts.

Qualifications:

• Some experience or desire to work with pre-teens
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Strong academic record
• Patience!

If you are selected to participate, your responsibilities will include tasks such as tutoring youth, assisting teachers during enrichment classes, and/or clerical work (e.g., filing, copying, shredding). You may also use your volunteer hours to fulfill your school’s community-service requirement as long as you provide us with the proper paperwork.

If you are interested in learning more about the after-school program or volunteering,
