Who We Are
Building compassionate& resilient community leaders
About Connected to Lead
In the Fall of 2018, our Founder, Jen Harris, was developing a nonprofit focused on youth leadership development. On March 7th, 2019, God called Jen to create a network for young professionals focused on leadership development and developing meaningful relationships. She applied as an individual for the California Mental Health Service Authority’s grant for $5000. Jen was awarded the grant and birthed Connected to Lead. In June 2019, Jen coordinated three full day sessions with professionals ages 18-50+ from Los Angeles County. There were workshops focused on leadership development, goal setting, yoga, telling your story, and more by Jen and other presenters. The evaluation responses were extremely positive, which led Jen to restructure the original idea for her nonprofits programming to include people of all ages.
Our programs are designed to develop resilient leaders who are connected to resources and make an impact.
