Welcome to City Connects

We are an innovative school-based intervention that revitalizes student support in elementary schools (K-5). City Connects, formerly Boston Connects, collaborates with teachers to identify the strengths and needs of every child. We then create a uniquely tailored set of intervention, prevention, and enrichment services located in the community designed to help each student learn and thrive.
