“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
-Margaret Mead

Welcome to Tempe Connections

Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee and start planning the rest of your life.

Tempe Connections is a nonprofit community service program and Café tucked in a quiet corner of the Tempe Public Library. It’s a warm and inviting spot to relax over a steaming latte while surfing the net or reading a magazine. But it’s much more than a full-service coffee bar.

The proceeds from the Connections Café support programming and community involvement activities for baby boomers and older adults. There are classes in financial planning and wellness, seminars on life planning and career coaching – all the tools to help 50+ adults grow, retool and live happier, more fulfilling lives.

But it’s not just about baby boomers. The hallmark of Tempe Connections is giving back to our community. We connect people with volunteer opportunities that enrich our neighborhoods and schools.

Every cup of coffee purchased makes Tempe a richer, more vibrant and connected place to live.
