We welcomed Kelly Shaw as our new President of the Board of Directors. A dedicated public service attorney before becoming a mother of two, Kelly's career focused on ensuring fair representation. "It is an honor to step into the role of Board President at the Carver Center," said Kelly. "I am deeply inspired by the legacy of those who came before me, and I am committed to working alongside our dedicated staff, board, and supporters to ensure that every individual who walks through our doors feels seen, supported, and empowered."
We would also like to extend a welcome to three new board members, Rachel Dunne, Christine O'Brien and Mike Walsh.
We're excited for the fresh perspectives and expertise you will all bring as we work together to guide the Carver Center forward.

A huge thank you to our partners at the Rye Youth Council. Together, we launched The Chill Zone, an exclusive event designed just for middle and high school boys.
It was an incredible night filled with creative games, delicious snacks, and amazing camaraderie.
We're excited to continue building on this success, offering more opportunities for our boys to forge lasting friendships and truly connect.

In collaboration with Chase Bank, we hosted a Money Skills Workshop designed for our middle and high school teens and their parents. The workshop was held in English and Spanish to best serve our guests.
Attendees gained essential Credit Skills, diving deep into understanding what credit is, how your credit score works, effective strategies for building and using credit responsibly, and vital tips for protecting and even repairing their credit scores.
Equipping our youth with these financial foundations is key to their future success!

Our Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) activities being held at the Middle and High School this summer empowers children with crucial life skills. Through our RECOVS programming, a New York State initiative designed to help schools address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on students, specifically focusing on learning loss and mental health, we are engaging children with workshops and activities to cultivate self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and responsible decision-making.
These important programs foster a supportive environment where every student feels valued, connected, and prepared for success.

With generous sponsorship from Redemption Community Church, we recently hosted a successful Baby Essentials Event, providing vital support to 60 Port Chester families. This event distributed essential supplies like diapers, wipes, and clothing. We also received additional help from Feeding Westchester, who provided 278 lbs. of items including baby toys, strollers, and car seats, and 914 Cares, who contributed adult toiletries and menstrual products.
The event showcases our commitment to alleviating financial burdens for local families and ensuring every baby has a healthy start.
