County Connections Youth Summer Initiative 2024, funded directly by Harris County, supports nonprofit organizations that address the need for youth services during the summer. Funding for the County Connections Project is provided by Harris County and administered by the Center for Afterschool, Summer, and Enrichment for Kids or CASE for Kids, a division of Harris County Department of Education.
