The Junior League of Greenwich is proud to announce that its 2018 Community Grant recipient is Kids in Crisis to expand Youth Mental Health First Aid Training at the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich.

The Junior League of Greenwich presented this year’s Community Service Award to Christine Kao, a Senior at Greenwich Academy.  Christine plans to use this award to create a fund for the repair of instruments at Waterside Elementary.  Congratulations Christine Kao and thank you for making an impact in our community!

The Junior League of Greenwich worked closely with Family Centers to plan and implement an interactive learning garden at the Grauer Preschool.  The garden will provide an outdoor setting for children to gain hands-on experience in growing their own food, while teaching social and leadership skills, as well as health and nutrition.

The Junior League of Greenwich took great pleasure in renovating and repurposing the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich’s Learning Resource room.  This room is one of the mot impactful rooms in the beautiful building of the Club, as it is well utilized.  The main purpose of this room is for the Club Kids to complete homework.  The renovated room now has color, desk carrels, tables that house 2-4 students, and placement of the items in the room to allow for a conducive learning environment.
