Expand the Community Connections program into the schools in Leon County

The Issue

The Community Connections Program is located at Palmer Munroe Teen Center in Tallahassee, FL. The program serves youth between the ages of 13 and 17, most of whom are referred as a result of involvement with the legal system or difficulty in school or at home.  Typically, teens come to us as a diversion option to court, as part of their probation, or as a community referral.

The mission of the Friends of Community Connections is to support Community Connections and promote empathetic communication skills and restorative practices. These skills and practices increase cooperation, transform conflict, and create connection.

The goal of this petition is to help Community Connections reach more people in the community, particularly in the schools.
