Connections and You, Inc
Connections and You, Inc’s mentoring program is called The Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen’s Club. Children involved in the program are ages 11 to 17. The boys and girls meet every other Saturday at their “Club House”, located in Hanahan, SC. They also provide an after school program two days a week, where the children receive tutoring, do homework, and study and/or get help with projects. Mentors are not required to attend these weekly meetings, but to contact their mentees weekly, to encourage, to motivate, and to provide guidance through this path called life. Mentors may also accompany mentees on monthly club outings.
