As a longstanding supporter, Bankwell is proud to again support Carver Foundation and its mission to close opportunity gaps for all children and ensure they graduate on time and ready for college and careers.
Carver is Norwalk's largest provider of before and after school and summer programs. Serving approximately 2,400 students, Carver operates in 18 K-12 Norwalk Public Schools, Side By Side Charter School, the Carver Community Center, and the Classical Studies Magnet Academy in Bridgeport. Since 2005, 100% of Carver seniors have graduated on time, 95% of whom immediately enrolled in college.
Novelette Peterkin, Carver's Chief Executive Officer states, "Bankwell's generous support through the years helps to further our mission in many priceless ways. The great capacity of Bankwell managers to explore and address ways to close opportunity gaps for our children remains one of their greatest communal gifts. I do not think a day passes in which I fail to look with fresh gratitude on Bankwell's commitment to Carver kids. It helps that we proudly display a big Bankwell banner in our gymnasium!"
