MERIDEN has so much to offer its youth and families that we had to make it a searchable directory.

The Meriden Department of Health and Human Services, Youth Services Office, created Meriden Community Connections to help youth and families search for information about the wonderful programs that our community offers. We’re committed to deepening this resource over time and encourage you to share it with family and friends, along with organizations that should be listed!

Now for the legal disclaimer that you read really fast like the guy at the end of car commercials: This website and the information contained herein have been prepared by the Youth Services Office for informational purposes only. While the Youth Services Office has gathered information about certain local programs and events and has linked to other websites for your perusal, the mention of those programs and events and the inclusion of any such links does not imply the Youth Services Office's or the City of Meriden's endorsement or approval thereof.
