The Connection's culture reflects the diversity and values of the participants we serve. For our 5,000 members who range from six months of age to over 95 years, it doesn't matter what their economic, racial, occupational, and cultural background is - The Connection belongs to them. It is their community.
We are proud to be a home away from home for all our members. Long before our official incorporation in 1922 as the YWCA of Summit, the spirit of The Connection began in the early 1900's as a movement of caring and perceptive women who worked for collective changes to improve individual lives, families, and society as a whole.

I am so grateful for The Connection After School Program because it allows my son to have a fun and safe environment to do his homework, play and experience great activities while I'm at work.
