Who We Are

Our mission is to support the healthy development of children and youth in the Greater Mankato Area United Way service area through engagement in organized out-of-school time Youth Development and Youth Enrichment opportunities.

Connecting Kids is an organization funded by the Greater Mankato Area United Way and generous donations from other local organizations and foundations. We work closely with community partners who offer a variety of programs to provide direct services to families of eligible children and youth so that they will have the opportunity to participate, regardless of financial barriers.
