Greetings!


June is a season of growth, celebration, and gratitude. Because of your generosity, the Carver Center continues to be a place where our community learns, connects, and thrives.


Here are 3 program highlights, 2 community highlights, and 1 question to reflect on!

Month in Review

Meals Served in Our

Afterschool & Teen Center Program

This school year, we served a total of 101,537 meals to children and youth in our community.


Every plate represents more than food. It represents a child who arrived ready to learn, a family with one less worry, and a community coming together.

Teen Center

End-of-Semester Celebration

Our Teen Center wrapped up an incredible semester with an end-of-year celebration that our young people truly deserved.


Students gathered to reflect on their achievements, connect with peers, and look ahead to the future.


As part of the festivities, we held a raffle with some fantastic prizes, including:

  • Door Essentials
  • A Mini Fridge
  • School Supplies

708 Students.

Countless Opportunities.

As we close another incredible school year, we celebrate the impact of our 708 children who participated this year. Each day, students had access to a safe, supportive environment where they could learn, grow, build friendships, and explore new opportunities beyond the classroom.


From academic support and enrichment activities to arts, recreation, and mentorship, our After School Program helped young people develop confidence, strengthen skills, and create lasting memories.


Thank you to our families, staff, partners, and supporters who helped make this year a success.

Community Collaborations

A Generous Grant from

RPC Women's Association

We are deeply grateful to Rye Presbyterian Church Women's Association for their generous grant in support of our programs. This partnership reflects a shared belief that investing in our neighbors, particularly our youth and families, strengthens the entire community.


We are proud to work alongside faith communities who walk the walk when it comes to service and compassion.

Civic Engagement with

The New York Community Trust - Westchester

We are excited to announce an awarded grant with The New York Community Trust - Westchester that will put young people at the center of civic life in Port Chester.

 

Through this new initiative, we'll enroll youth onto an advisory board where they'll receive biweekly civic education training, develop their own advocacy campaigns, and bring their priorities directly to elected officials and community leaders.


Thank you to the New York Community Trust for investing in our youth!
