HOW IT
WORKS
Each year, well over 150 young teens apply for our “earn and learn” program because it gives them an opportunity to gain valuable job skills and make an impact in their community. Last year, a favorite program feature was a talk on building a resume and marketable job skills given by Family Centers. Overall, a remarkable 98% said their experience as a GYCP team member was positive!
This unique public/private program could not exist without the generosity of donors and sponsors who make it possible for each teen to receive a stipend for their work. We hope you’ll consider donating to the GYCP today.
In 2022
112 teens revitalized Greenwich’s green spaces, planting trees, shrubs and flowers, removing invasive vines and clearing walking paths.

“The most important thing I learned was to take care of my town and my surroundings and to start filling my resume for the future."
"The most important thing I learned from the program is that not only does it teach me how to properly hold a job and be professional, it also benefits me in the future when applying for other jobs too."
“I learned that even though you have different backgrounds and different lives you can become closer by working with each other.”
