OUR WORK
Community Initiatives
Over the years, TCF has been involved with several community initiatives. The Human Services Planning Council brings together local leaders to discuss and develop plans to address social service needs in Darien – for the good of all Darien residents. The Thriving Youth Task Force is a volunteer coalition that convenes local community organizations to promote and empower positive youth development, with the goal of reducing teen substance use.
Community Investments
TCF pools together individual gifts to make an impact. For more than 70 years TCF has invested in local nonprofits in Darien, Norwalk, and Stamford to provide a plethora of safety net services to neighbors.
Volunteers
Volunteers are essential to the success of TCF. With the power of more than 500 volunteers, TCF is able to best serve our community; inciting change and making progress. Our Volunteer Hub provides a personalized connection to local organizations where volunteers can thrive, connect with their community and make a difference.
Youth Programs
We connect students to their community through community-based experiences which helps them become more aware of society’s growing needs and their own interests. Additionally, through a grant from the State of Connecticut, TCF leads local leaders from the government, schools, and health organizations to promote positive youth development.
