Hamden is a Winner in the 100 Best Communities for Young People contest
Residents of our Hamden rental apartments are proud that their town received recognition from America’s Promise Alliance as one of 2011’s 100 best communities for young people in the nation. This award was granted because all of Hamden’s sectors come together to support children, from schools, local businesses, town agencies and non-profits.
The focus for all this support is the Hamden Partnership for Young Children, where community members partner to discuss and implement programs that improve the services and resources for local youth.
There are many additional programs which supplement the Partnership all around the community that helped Hamden gain recognition. The Kinder-Prep initiative provides resources to families with young students to achieve success in the instrumental early years of schooling. The superintendent’s Student Advisory Committee is a student-run group that meets directly with the superintendent to give students a direct voice to authority and help shape local educational policy. The “Putting on Airs” program provides asthma supplies and relief to students and their families. SAILS at Hamden Middle School and RAISES at Hamden High School identify top rung students and challenge them with higher-level coursework.
