It’s All About Connection
As its name suggests, Project Connect is all about connection.
Not only the hundreds of vital service connections with dozens of human services organizations at each event, but also connection to community, and above all, human connection to one another.
Events take place in community centers and places of worship every 45-60 days throughout the year, with valued host site partnerships in Avondale, Central Phoenix, Surprise, Tempe, Mesa, and Sunnyslope.
Local Volunteers
Host sites open their doors to Keys to Change and partners, working hand-in-hand with outreach and development teams to create lasting relationships – all with the goal of serving those affected by housing instability and homelessness.
Volunteer support is the backbone of every Project Connect event, with Keys to Change staff teaming up with 30-60 volunteers each event.
Project Connect is a consequential community stalwart that’s enjoyed success over many years under the leadership of various nonprofit and city entities.
