​Common Connections Foundation is rooted in service. The basis of our work is derived from sociology, law, history, culture and faith to address the needs of underserved youth, families and individuals.  Our work is a call to unite based on common experiences, interests, needs and above all a passion to promote the goodness and kindness of humanity across communities. Common Connections Foundation began serving the community in the spring of 2017.
