Conn-X-ions is a non-profit, Florida based corporation. Now in its beginning stages of development, our first goal will be to establish a series of speaking programs geared towards showing young people the power of building relationships early. Our belief is that the job market is getting more and more congested by the day & as the years progress, a simple bachelor's degree will become as useful as a high school diploma is now with regard to separating viable candidates in the job market. The power of building relationships and developing a personal touch goes unmatched. Incorporating professional and inspiring speakers coupled with a wide array of motivational events, Conn-X-ions will show young people how to network with the adults in their communities, learn about the needs of their communities, and how to connect with organizations that make a difference in the lives of others. The goal of this organization will be to get young people connected with each other, so that collectively they can address the issues and need in their community.

Teens as young as 14 - up to college juniors. The target group can consist of schools, youth organizations, and we can also begin to build our own network within the organization of future leaders.

 

CONN-X-IONS: THE HIDDEN CURRICULUM
Conn-X-ions purpose is in line with Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) core principles. The approach simply means that we are reinforcing young people with additional tools for the future. Outside of gaining the conventional college education there is a "Hidden Curriculum" which if not understood and refined can spell disaster to the novice professional no matter what level of education he or she has attained. Preparation for understanding curriculum on this level gives way to unconventional thinking, propelling our youth aspiring to become successful by equipping them with knowledge of what is not taught but yet expected to be understood. This thinking, compounded with traditional education is a formula that when used, will position them for success. Positive exposure to appropriate etiquette and professional courtesy as well as practice in building strong relationships, will enable and empower students to reach their full potential. As the FYSB purpose suggest, (it) "is the best way to prevent them from engaging in risky behaviors. When young people have the chance to exercise leadership, build work ethic skills, culminating with practical application, they gain self-confidence, trust, and practical knowledge - qualities that help them grow into healthy, happy, self-sufficient adults."
