Dear Carver Community,

As we welcome 2024, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has been a part of the incredible journey we've had in 2023. It has been a year filled with growth, achievements, and the unwavering support of our dedicated donors, partners, students, and parents.

A Year of Impact:

In 2023, Carver continued to make a positive impact in the lives of over 3,000 students across various schools, including in all the schools in the Norwalk Public Schools district, Side by Side Charter School, the Classical Studies Magnet Academy in Bridgeport, Naugatuck High School, Stamford High School, and the Carver Community Center in Norwalk. Through 66+ before-school, after-school, and summer programs, Carver provided a nurturing environment where children thrived academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our unique programming, aligned with in-school curricula and led by certified teachers, ensures academic success and incorporates recreational, wellness, and cultural components. These elements contribute to the holistic development of our students, enhancing a variety of skills crucial for their future.

Community-Centric Approach:

Carver doesn't stop at school-based programs. We proudly operate over 20 community programs through the Carver Community Center, engaging youth and parents in various activities and support initiatives throughout the year. Our commitment to community-building and parental involvement plays a vital role in the success of our students.

Empowering Futures:

Since 2005, every Carver senior has graduated high school on time; nearly all have become first-generation college students. This achievement is a testament to our commitment to fostering an environment where dreams are encouraged and realized.

Recognition and Trust:

Carver consistently receives the highest ratings from reputable organizations such as the Better Business Bureau, Charity Navigator, Guidestar, and other national agencies. This recognition reflects our dedication to transparency, accountability, and the efficient use of resources our generous donors and partners provide.

A Heartfelt Thank You:

To our donors and partners, your support has been the bedrock of our success. To our students, thank you for your enthusiasm and commitment to learning. To the parents, your involvement is invaluable. You make the Carver community vibrant, supportive, and truly special.

Wishing You a Joyful and Healthy 2024:
