The Connect Lab

We are excited to launch our virtual Connect program next week with @BGCKershaw! Check out our virtual introduction!

We are so excited to be back to doing what we love to do: Sharing our love of play with kids! We are excited to continue partnering with @bgckershaw this summer and with several other after school programs in 2021-22!

Dr. Nicole Zarrett recently shared with media outlets the importance of summer enrichment activities as well as how parental involvement is critical in supporting youth participation in sports, especially among females. More info on theconnectlab.com @WomensSportsFdn

We are grateful for these students’ dedication, creativity, and positive outlook! We look forward to continue working with many of these individuals in the coming year and wish the best to all who are embarking on new adventures!

With the K12 school year wrapping up, we want to recognize the efforts of an amazing team of research assistants who helped us navigate how to continue meeting the needs of SC youth amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. 🎓UofSC Grad ✈️Fulbright Scholar

When you can get the COVID-19 vaccine, I hope you do—Barack and I are certainly glad we did. It’s our best shot at beating this virus, looking out for one another, and getting back to some of the things we miss. Getting vaccinated will save lives—and that life could be yours.
