About

Y2CONNECT.org is a resource guide for youth in Baltimore. The site aims to connect Baltimore youth to clinical- and community-based health and non-health programs and resources to assist them in becoming successful adults. It is designed for easy and direct access by youth, youth‐serving professionals, parents/guardians, and other caring adults. 

Y2CONNECT.org started as an initiative under Project Connect Baltimore that was dedicated to improving the health of adolescents and young adults in Baltimore City. The team included the Johns Hopkins Department of Pediatrics, Center for Community and Child Health Research, and Center for Adolescent Health and was guided by a community advisory board consisting of Baltimore City community-based organizations and institutions.  

Funding for Project Connect Baltimore includes: the Centers for Disease Control (CDC 1H25PS003796), the Secretary’s Minority AIDS Initiative Fund, the Thomas Wilson Foundation, and the Johns Hopkins Idea Lab Diversity Innovation Grant.
