According to the 2015 Connecticut’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey, we have seen a 15% reduction in underage drinking in the last 10 years. For us, that’s not good enough. Too many of our youth continue to deal with issues of drug use, family alcoholism, bullying and child abuse. It’s time for a change.

At EdCorpsCT, we believe in the power of young people to change the world, and that the idealism of young people is one of our nation’s most precious natural resources. Robert F. Kennedy once said that even the smallest acts of service create ripples of hope that spread through communities; we agree, and we know that ten months of full-time service is far more than a small act.
