Connections Institute

The Harold M. Marsh, Sr. Connections Institute (formerly Metrotown) is the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities’ signature high school program.  Serving students from across the commonwealth since 1993, Connections is an intensive 5-day, 4-night human relations experience that takes place each summer.  Schools send teams of up to 5 students to participate in Connections, and those delegates explore prejudice, identity, and diversity in interactive workshops and small discussion groups with peers from throughout Virginia.  They also build communication and conflict resolution skills and develop action plans to share the Connections message with their schools.
