Mission Statement

Domus builds loving relationships with young people facing adversity, empowering them to pursue their path to self-sufficiency.

About This Cause

Since 1972, Domus has helped thousands of our region’s most vulnerable youth and their families experience success. The love, structure, and support we provide at our charter schools, residential programs, and community programs enable our kids and families to reach their full potential. Our ability to build relationships helps kids and families who may be struggling in school or in life focus on their strengths and make good choices. Through a constellation of individualized support programs, Domus works closely with community partners to help disconnected and disengaged youth forge their own paths to self-sufficiency – including graduating from high school, acquiring real-world job skills, and securing full-time employment. This support builds a strong foundation that empowers youth to rise above adversity and thrive as productive members of our shared communities. School Engagement Featuring Domus Vikings at Westhill High School and Domus Knights at Stamford High School, this program engages about 400 disengaged high school youth over four years in intensive, interpersonal relationships to help them acquire the social and emotional skills, attitudes, and habits needed to graduate high school and enroll and engage in their post-secondary environment. Workforce Development Participants go through the DomusWorks program for approximately one year, including three to six months of skills development and employment in our social enterprise, followed by six months of unsubsidized employment while continuing to meet weekly with DomusWorks staff for support and coaching.
