The Cornelia Connelly Center is a pioneering non-profit that empowers girls living in poverty to realize their full potential. We embrace each child entering our program, walking with her on a decades-long journey of growth in mind, heart and spirit. Our challenging, joyful middle school, Connelly Middle School of the Holy Child, fosters skills, resilience and compassion, while our innovation, holistic Graduate Support Program supports college aspirations and completion. These lasting relationships create an inspiring network of support that strengthens CCC, our alumnae and our community. Through CCC, a young woman learns to shine - transforming her life and our world.
