Mission: Carver's mission is to close opportunity gaps for all children and to ensure they graduate high school on time and are ready for college and careers.

Carver operates 47 before-school, after-school, and summer programs serving approximately 2,500 K-12 students in the 20 Norwalk Public Schools, Side by Side Charter School, the Carver Community Center, the Classical Studies Magnet Academy in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Carver programming aligns with in-school curricula, takes place within the students' respective schools, and is led by each school's daytime certified teachers. Carver students also receive social-emotional learning and wellness support.

Since 2005, 100% of our seniors have graduated on time and almost all become first-generation college students. Our alumni are ambitious critical thinkers making their mark in the fields of law, government, medicine, finance, entertainment, professional sports, technology, education, entrepreneurship, and the creative arts.

The Carver Foundation of Norwalk is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1944, and donations are tax-deductible.
