CONNECT
CONNECT is a network of concerned parents with a goal to positively impact the choices our 6th through 12th grade students in our community are making.
This network was originally formed because of concern about the increasing acceptance of pre-teen and adolescent use of drugs (primarily alcohol) as a normal part of growing up. Click here for CONNECT Brochure.

Great Start Collaborative
The Ionia County Great Start Collaborative is a partnership of community leaders, business owners, charitable and faithâbased organizations, health and human service agencies, educators, child care providers, and parents. We firmly believe the first few years of life are the most important in determining a child's physical and emotional health for the rest of their lives. We are committed to establishing and maintaining a comprehensive early childhood system. It is our goal to make sure every young child in our community has a great start.
