This is not a meeting for parents but for high school students, whether attending public or private schools or if they’re home schooled. It’s an informal discussion running from 7 to 8 p.m., and refreshments will be provided.
All Darien resident youth are invited to visit The Depot to create, join and participate in programs, activities, and fundraisers as well as access resources, socialize and participate in volunteer opportunities in the Darien community.
The Depot’s mission is to build resilient youth and an engaged community. The Depot is a collaborative youth center, the first and oldest of its kind in the nation, where community needs are addressed with staff supported guidance, programming by youth, and parenting education.
An alcohol and drug-free zone monitored by caring, vetted adults, The Depot provides a safe space for youth to develop leadership, planning, and decision-making skills, interact with people of different backgrounds, access adult role models and serve as community assets.
