Freshman Community Group (FCG)
FCG is a youth enrichment program for 9th grade Darien students. Students will participate in mental health-related activities facilitated by a licensed clinical social worker and engage in meaningful discussions about the transition to high school, including stress management, friendship and substance use.

Students meet 1-2 times a month for 45 minutes.

Meetings were engaging, and I learned about challenges our neighbors face such as hunger and immigration issues.
My favorite part of FCG was volunteering and learning about nonprofits.
I liked learning about the differences between Youth Asset Team and the Youth Community Fund.
