Our
Story
Background:
For decades, Tracy has been known as a Bedroom Community, and many of our residents are not plugged in and connected to the many wonderful opportunities Tracy has to offer. With the added COVID-19 Pandemic and restrictions, many were further disjointed and our community as in need of a fusion to reconnect. The answer was simple: an annual Tracy Connects Day, founded in 2021 by Mayor Nancy Young, in partnership with the Tracy Chamber of Commerce. The Young Connects, a 501(c)3, was created in 2025 by a group of community citizens, led by the inaugural CEO, Nancy Young, to continue the mission for the vision of the original Tracy Connects 2021 and further expansion to fulfill the mission.

Our mission is to connect individuals and communities to essential resources and educational opportunities through partnerships with non-profit services, service organizations, and other key stakeholders.
