This investment for the provision of a full-time manager will ensure that high school students receive a high quality after school experience.

He is also responsible for being the liaison between the public schools, parents, Carver and the community.

For 70 years, the Carver Center has been a beacon of hope for Norwalk families. We have operated our Youth Development - Reach for College Program (Y.D.P) since 1970. The goal of the Youth Development Program is to help students gain admission to college or trade school and support them through graduation. We accomplish this goal by educating students about the college admission process and support them in earning grades that represent strong efforts. Students receive top-notch support to help earn solid scores on standardized tests and earn consistency with their high school performance. We follow our students through college and offer a small scholarship to qualifying students who remain active participants
