Domus' and Lily Villanueva recently attended a professional development session hosted by , the State Education Resource Center of Connecticut, on “Confronting Disparities in School Discipline for Black Girls.”

The session focused on challenging traditional perceptions of behavior that can contribute to exclusionary discipline practices for Black girls. We are grateful for opportunities like this to learn alongside educators across Connecticut and continue strengthening our work to support, advocate for, and empower young people.

At Domus, we believe every young person deserves to be seen, understood, and given the support they need to thrive.

On May 1, the counseling departments at both Stamford High School and Westhill High school held “I Have A Plan” celebrations for students with post-graduation plans, including college, career training, employment, and military service.

These celebrations are a powerful reminder that every path forward matters. We are proud of the young people taking thoughtful, meaningful steps toward their futures, and grateful to the school teams helping them prepare for life after graduation.

Our students are taking exciting next steps toward their futures!

Recently, Domus students toured , , , and Eastern Connecticut State University, giving them the chance to explore different campuses, ask questions, and imagine what life after high school could look like.

Students also attended an event at , where they participated in a resource fair and registered for fall classes. These moments matter. They help young people see new possibilities, build confidence, and take real steps toward college, careers, and long-term success.

We are so proud of our students as they continue to dream, plan, and move forward.

At Domus Kids, caring for our young people starts with caring for the incredible staff who show up for them every day.

Recently, our Wellness Committee organized a pasta night at Columbus Park, where staff came together to make pasta from scratch, share a meal, and enjoy time with one another outside of the daily work. It was a simple but meaningful reminder of the importance of connection, community, and taking time to recharge.

We are so grateful for the dedication, compassion, and hard work our team brings to serving young people and families. Their commitment changes lives, and moments like this help us celebrate and support the people who make Domus what it is.

Congratulations to Tamryn Lee-Williams (Domus Knights) and Nahim Cagua Llivipuma (Domus Vikings), recipients of the Scholarship! These two have worked incredibly hard and this recognition is so well deserved.

We are deeply grateful to the State Street Debating Society for their continued support of student scholarships. Nights like this remind us exactly why this work matters.
