Apex actively and intentionally connects Maine youth with
their communities.
Why?
Because our vision is that every Maine youth has the personal skills and connections to support his/her transition to healthy, happy, productive adulthood. Our vision is that every youth aspires toward and reaches his/her meaningful potential.
Why is connecting important?TONS of research shows that connected kids are healthier and happier kids. Period. Youth who feel connected — to mentors, to peers, to the great outdoors, to their communities, and to their futures — are less likely to make decisions that can be harmful to themselves and/or their community. Apex Youth Connection supports and guides youth to find their place in the community. To become a part of something. To be connected.
