The Parent Programming Chair actively participates with Youth Connect, a group of concerned adults from a variety of schools and organizations in the Sewickley area who are working to provide the information, resources, and support our young people need to avoid risky behaviors and enjoy their teen years. Youth Connect conducts a series of community forums where speakers are brought in to address “non-academic” issues that children and parents face throughout the school-age years.
