Who We Are
Community Connections Project of Longmont (a Public Benefit 501c3 nonprofit) is established to facilitate and sponsor community projects that promote healthy and sustainable relationships between humans, animals and nature in a manner that results in increased opportunity for independent living, civic engagement and intergenerational/inter-ability alliances
What We Do
CCPLongmont facilitates educational opportunity, develops leadership skills and integrates individuals and entities through common cause and shared interest. Initial efforts for the project have been centered on developing programs related specifically to gardening, animal rescue/dog training and health and wellness activities at our intergenerational community center. The intent over time, however, is to continue to develop and/or sponsor collaborative projects that encourage civic engagement and facilitate solutions to a wide range of community concerns, including but not limited to: youth mentoring, mental health, homelessness, accessible public transportation, the inclusion of people with disabilities, healthy food production and the human/wildlife interface.
Gardening and Environmental Awareness
Community Connections Project of Longmont has an inclusive philosophy. With over 50 years of combined experience in the field of special education, we are well versed in designing programs and planning for the needs of individuals with a wide range of abilities. We encourage and make possible the participation of people with disabilities by sponsoring and developing programs that result in learning opportunities for the participant, increased accessibility and respite care for families.
