Community Services

The Connections Center was established to provide the following services:

  • Information
  • Resources
  • Consulting
  • Training
  • Technical assistance
  • Mentoring/coaching
  • Networking opportunities
  • Highlights of best practices (locally and nationally)

The Connections Team is available to support the implementation of developmental assets county-wide. This will be accomplished through:

  • Networking with community organizations to promote the asset framework within their programs,
  • Providing community education and training about the value and benefit of the developmental asset framework,
  • Supporting the goals and objectives of increasing youth visibility, involvement and participation in the community,
  • Recommending resources, materials and other strategies to further the implementation of the principles and activities of developmental assets.

The Speaker’s Bureau is a team of community adults and youth who can offer a presentation of developmental assets to diverse audiences. We can speak to parents, clubs, faith groups, sports teams, community groups - you name it, we can be there!

Invite a member of the Speaker’s Bureau and your group will:

  • Communicate with a common language and implement a vision about young people’s ability to contribute to the community.
  • Learn more about how Howard County adults and youth see each other.
  • Discover what actions you can take individually and collectively to strengthen relationships with young people.
Please call Meg Mekelburg at 410-964-3030 to discuss how we can assist you and share ideas and resources to strengthen your asset-building efforts.
