Network Connect

? A Story of Resilience and Triumph ? After facing a long stretch of unemployment, one of our dedicated Recovery Cafe members has officially started a new chapter at his place of work! This powerful success is a testament to their perseverance and the unwavering support of our Network Connect Recovery Cafe. At Recovery Cafe, we’re not just offering support—we’re helping individuals rebuild their lives, one step at a time. ?? #RecoveryCafe #NetworkConnect #SuccessStory #Empowerment #CommunitySupport #Resilience #Removingthemask

Removing the mask means showing up as your whole self—for your people, your purpose, and your community?? It’s Authenticity in Action Cierra Hall-Hipkins, CEO of Network Connect, reminds us why this work is different: “We are the communities we serve—and so is our board. That’s what makes us unique.” At Network Connect, leadership isn’t removed from the reality. It’s rooted in lived experience—in the neighborhoods, challenges, and victories our team has walked through personally. That’s why our impact is felt deeply. It’s not performative—it’s personal. As we count down to the Network Connect Gala, we celebrate leaders like Cierra who are committed to authentic service, not just from the top, but alongside the communities they uplift every day. #BeingInTheRoom means supporting leadership that reflects the people. Will we see you there? #NetworkConnectGala #RemovingTheMask #AuthenticLeadership #CommunityRooted #PurposeDriven #CierraHallHipkins #DelawareLeadership

Removing the Mask: A Support System That Changes Lives ?? “What we do is support—it’s just a STRONG support system, and people aren’t used to that. Even myself, having my job as my support system, I’m not used to that, honestly… this is not the ordinary. It’s really people that actually CARE.” – Mitchell, Lead Community Well-Being Ambassador, Network Connect @jennine312 At Network Connect, we go beyond programs—we create a foundation of real, unwavering support for the people we serve. For many, it’s the first time they’ve had a system that truly believes in them and invests in their success. ? This is why our work matters. ?? This is why your ticket to NetGala makes a difference.

Removing the Mask: The Heart Behind the Work at Network Connect “For me, coming from impoverished cities, I think I have an edge on that. I call it social capital. I have a great relationship with most of the people I come into contact with. That gives what we’re doing an edge.” – *Kontal Copeland* This is the power of community. When we remove the mask, we step into authentic connection and true impact. It’s about embracing our lived experiences, sharing stories, and creating a space where vulnerability is celebrated. Only then can we come together to empower and uplift each other. Join us at the **3rd Annual NetGala** on April 18, 2025, to celebrate, support, and invest in this mission. Let's create a world where the power of community shines through, and the masks are no longer needed.
