City of Hartford Division for Youth

Welcome to the City of Hartford's Division for Youth!

As part of the City of Hartford (Connecticut) Department of Families, Children, Youth and Recreation (DFCYR), our mission is to promote positive youth and family development through evidence-driven practice, partnerships and capacity building. We focus on the impact areas of family civics, youth justice, workforce development and student success.

We use Facebook to promote the timely exchange of information with community stakeholders. Engaging community stakeholders and highlighting relevant events, activities, funding opportunities, research, and other resources is one aspect of the Division's contribution to positive, strengths-based youth and family development throughout Hartford. Our Facebook engagement is focused on: 1) sharing information about programs and activities offered or sponsored by the Division and DFCYR; 2) sharing information about opportunities open to Hartford youth and families when such opportunities are directly related to the mission of DFCYR or the mission and impact areas of the Division; and 3) sharing related news of interest—especially celebrating progress and success—from across Hartford and beyond.

Hours of operation and staff availability on a specific day may be different than posted on this page. Please call before visiting. We look forward to seeing you!
