Connections and You, Inc. (CYI), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was established in October of 2008 with a desire to help young men become better people in our society. CYI provides a very comprehensive mentoring program called, The Distinguished Gentlemen's Club. We believe that although manners takes an individual a long way, a positive character will take them further. In this program we concentrate on establishing and building positive character into these young men, which would ultimately cause these GENTLEMEN to be DISTINGUISHED, in their schools, in their community, in their families, and in society. Our mission is to connect caring adults with children that would assist in cultivating and building positive character in them through intentional mentoring. We seek to challenge positive men and women to engage the mind and soul of a child, ultimately bringing about productive citizens in society.

Trinity Place Shelter is a small, independent, non-sectarian transitional residence for homeless LGBTQ+ youth and young adults. Trinity Place Shelter fills a critical niche by operating a safe and affirming residence where vulnerable young people aged 18-24 can stay for 18 months and receive the care, support and services they need to exit the cycle of homelessness, heal from trauma and establish a healthy trajectory.
