Youth Give Back

The Community Fund of Darien’s Thriving Youth Initiative offers a bi-weekly asset-building program for 7th and 8th-grade students.

Youth Give Back team members will:

• Participate in local community service activities
• Learn how to build assets in their daily lives
• Lead asset-building and prevention initiatives at Middlesex Middle School
• Build relationships with High School Youth Asset Team mentor
  
  

Youth Give Back students cooked and served meals at local homeless shelters, visited with Seniors at Atria, painted a mural at Building One Community, read to children at Children’s Learning Centers and worked on the grounds at the Darien Nature Center. The Youth Give Back application process for the 2019-20 school year is closed. If you are interested in learning about this group for next year, please email Emily Larkin at emily.larkin@communityfunddarien.org.
