History

Connections was founded by Joan Foley, a Medical Mission Sister, in September 1991, and was incorporated as a Non-Profit Corporation in the State of Florida in June 1992.

Connections is funded by the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation, United Way of Pasco County, Pasco County Commissioners, and generous donations from area churches, individuals and businesses.  In 2000, Good Connections Thrift Shoppe was established to provide additional funding for the operational expenses of the program.

Connections is governed by a Board of Directors, elected from the community, who, with the Executive Director, guide the development of the program and ensure that goals are met and that the program remains responsive to the needs of the unemployed individuals who come to Connections for service.

Connections is an Off-Site Partner of the Career Central One Stop Center in New Port Richey and networks with human service providers, churches and business throughout the area in order to strengthen the circle of support in the community.

After launching and nurturing the program for more than 17 years, Sister Joan Foley retired from Connections in March 2008.  She was elected to the Board of Directors in April 2008. Her vision continues today as Connections remains committed to its work with job seekers and employers.
