Amanda Olberg from Dalio Education said the Greenwich philanthropy will match donations the Stamford Parks Community Partnership receives dollar for dollar up to $100,000. She said Dalio Education wanted to support the Youth Service Corps as part of its “commitment to young people who are at risk or disconnected from school and work.”
The stabilization bill includes $175,000 each for both Hartford and New Haven as part of a pilot program to give public students free rides on DOT-operated buses. Lawmakers said it’s part of a broader effort to help disconnected youth. A report from the Dalio Education Foundation estimated 119,000 youth became disconnected from work or school.
A new report from Dalio Education shows the personal side of the crisis of disconnected and at-risk youth in Connecticut, and a leader of the organization says housing is at the center of the issue.
Dalio Education has partnered with Community Science to understand the stories of those young people. The project interviewed over 70 people and revealed their results Monday at the state capitol.
