Parent Connection was formed in 1998 by a group of parents concerned with illegal substance abuse by Wilton teens. Today it is a parent driven committee providing educational forums on youth related topics for the community. Participants can share experiences and gain better insights on specific issues. Professional speakers are offered 4 to 6 times a year.
