Westerville Youth Connection
A Collaborative Network of Support
What We Do
Westerville Youth Connection exists to ensure every young person has access to the support, resources and relationships they need to build a stable, independent future. Through The Launch Pad and a network of trusted community partners, we connect youth with practical assistance, caring adults and opportunities that empower them to thrive.
Our Story
Westerville Youth Connection was created when local educators, community leaders, first responders, nonprofits and volunteers recognized a growing number of young people in our community were facing challenges such as housing instability, food insecurity, family conflict and isolation—but had no central place to turn for support. United by a shared belief that every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive, they came together to create a collaborative solution that connects youth with trusted adults, essential resources and community partners. Through The Launch Pad, Westerville Youth Connection is building a safe, welcoming space where young people can find hope, stability and a pathway toward a brighter future.
