About Us

How We Got Started

Connecting Communities for Growth, a non-profit organization, was established by army veterans dedicated to supporting community development. Their focus is on advancing educational and sports programs for youth, and providing mentorship and guidance for those pursuing college education, military service, or vocational careers.

Our Mission

Founded in 2021, our mission is to connect communities with resources, expertise, and opportunities that promote inclusive growth and well-being. Through collaborative efforts and innovative initiatives, CCG strives to create a world where every individual has the chance to thrive and contribute to a better future.

Our Drive

The founders of CCG were driven by a dual mission: to honor their commitment to service by giving back to their communities, and to provide young people with the tools they needed to succeed in various pathways, whether it be through higher education, military service, or vocational work.

Drawing on their military training and leadership skills, the veterans developed programs that emphasized teamwork, resilience, and personal development. They reached out to local schools, community centers, and sports clubs, forging partnerships and building a network of support.

Through educational workshops, sports programs, mentorship initiatives, and college guidance sessions, CCG aimed to empower youth with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to pursue their dreams and contribute positively to society.

Our Board

The CC4G board comprises professional and community leaders committed to supporting the success and development of local youth. Possessing a profound knowledge of the community, the board ensures that all CC4G events and programs are conducted with the highest standards of quality and integrity.
