Support Our Youth
Every youth in our community deserves an opportunity to discover their passion, build their confidence, make new friends, and live healthy and joyful lives. Your contribution will allow Lane County youth to explore a new career path in the gaming industry, share their artwork in local galleries, pursue a nursing or computer science degree, dive into culinary adventures, access financial education and tools to save for their first car, and much more!
Partner Highlight
We’re excited to participate in the Tokens for Bags program at Buffalo Exchange from January to June 2025! Instead of a plastic bag, this program offers a five-cent token to donate to one of three local charities with each purchase. Stop by Buffalo Exchange to shop amazing second-hand and vintage pieces, and drop us a token to help more than 3,000 youth access paid career-connected learning opportunities, STEM education, and support services each year!

Donor Testimonials
“We each support Connected Lane County because it offers an enticing smorgasbord of options to help youth experience possibilities they may not have imagined, eliciting creativity and hard work while offering practical options and skills for them to take forward into their lives.”

“Supporting Spark at Booth-Kelly to come to fruition was a feel-good moment for us. We’ve seen firsthand the positive results Connected Lane County creates and we hope contributing to the program helps make a positive impact on the community. We were excited to contribute as a family to create opportunities for youth who might not otherwise have access to hands-on training and opportunity.”
