Youth Programs

Services are provided to Greenwich Youth through three unique programs:

  • Byram Archibald Neighborhood Center (BANC) After School Program: A licensed after school program serving Byram students ages 5 to 11 attending New Lebanon Elementary School. The purpose is to promote positive youth development and educational enrichment through participation in educational, recreational and arts activities.
  • Greenwich Youth Conservation Program (GYCP): Provides short-term summer employment and training for 112 youth ages 14 to 15. Four consecutive groups spend two-week sessions doing outdoor work projects at Greenwich parks, nature preserves and other Town facilities. Teens receive a stipend for their work funded through private and public donations.
  • Greenwich Youth Corp: Provides an additional opportunity for youth ages 16 to 17. Teens are selected from their work in GYCP and 2 groups of 7 work 30 hours a week for 4 weeks earning minimum wage. This is a partnership with Greenwich Land Trust. Teen salaries are funded through private donations.
