Domus

Providing personalized school engagement and work-readiness services for teens and young adults.

WHAT WE DO: Re-engage and re-connect youth to education and employment to succeed in school, work, and beyond. 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 empl

oyment. This support builds a strong foundation that empowers youth to rise above adversity and thrive as productive members of our shared communities.

Preserving a Landmark. Investing in Young People. Building Community.

We are proud to announce a new partnership supporting the restoration and rehabilitation of the historic —an iconic landmark with deep roots in the Stamford community and a new chapter ahead.

This multi-phased restoration project is being led by co-founders Gary Kalan and Brendan McGee, who joined forces with a shared commitment to saving this important piece of Stamford’s history and returning it to a place of renewed purpose and possibility.

What makes this partnership especially meaningful is the opportunity it creates for young people connected to DomusWorks.

Through their participation in this project, young people are gaining positive exposure to a significant community initiative while experiencing firsthand what it means to contribute to something larger than themselves. They are seeing preservation, craftsmanship, teamwork, leadership, and community investment come together and, importantly, they are being recognized as contributors to the future of their community.

The lighthouse represents history. The restoration represents possibility. And the young people involved represent the future.

Community reinvestment is at its most powerful when it does more than restore a building- it creates opportunities, builds confidence, opens doors, and gives the next generation a meaningful stake in the places they call home.

We are grateful to everyone helping bring this vision to life and proud to celebrate the young people whose energy, presence, and participation are becoming part of the lighthouse’s next chapter.

Preserving the past. Creating opportunity. Investing in the future.

Our young people have been putting in the work and building real-world skills working on Stamford’s West Side throughout the summer.

Through hands-on experience, teamwork, and responsibility, they are learning what it means to show up, work hard, and take pride in making a difference in their community.

We are so proud of their effort, growth, and commitment. These experiences are about more than the work itself, they are about building confidence, developing skills, and creating opportunities for the future.

We were grateful to welcome State Representative Corey Paris to Domus for a meaningful conversation with our DomusWorks young adults.

As a member of Stamford’s legislative delegation, Rep. Paris has consistently supported Domus and championed opportunities that help young people move forward. His belief in their potential is reflected not only in his words, but in his work to advance legislation that supports their upward mobility and strengthens our community.

Thank you, Rep. Paris, for taking the time to listen, share your own story, and connect with our young adults. Your commitment to Stamford and its young people shows.

We look forward to continuing to bring the voices and stories of our young people to Hartford and working together to create greater opportunities for them We look forward to continuing to bring the voices and stories of our young people to Hartford and working together to create greater opportunities for them thrive.

At Domus, we know that learning and growth happen everywhere, not just in the classroom.

Our Domus Knights recently took the train into New York City for a day of exploration, including a visit to the wax museum and lunch together. Experiences like these give our young people the chance to see new places, try new things, build confidence, and expand their view of what the world has to offer.

We’re proud to help create opportunities that open doors, spark curiosity, and broaden horizons.

We’re grateful for the continued support of Stamford and her commitment to the young people in our community!

On the first day of school, Mayor Simmons stopped by Stamford High School and took a moment to connect with juniors Zion Brown and Marley Garcia and senior Brianna Saunders before they headed to class.

Support from community leaders matters. It reinforces for our young people that Stamford is invested in their success, their futures, and the opportunities ahead of them. Thank you, Mayor Simmons, for continuing to show up for Domus, our students, and Stamford’s youth!

It’s a big week for the young people of Domus!

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate Adult Education student Gerlyn Montan, who passed her U.S. citizenship test and attended her naturalization ceremony on August 21!

At Domus, we’re here to support young people through so many different milestones, endeavors, and life changes. Whether it’s education, employment, personal growth, or a moment as meaningful as becoming a U.S. citizen, we’re honored to be there along the way.

Congratulations, Gerlyn! We’re so proud of you!

At Domus, our work doesn’t stop at the doors of a program, a school, or even the Stamford city line. We build relationships that last, showing up for young people as they take important steps toward the futures they’ve worked so hard to create.

This past weekend, members of our team had the privilege of helping Cheyenne move into her dorm at Eastern and celebrate the beginning of her college journey. From arriving on campus to getting settled into her new home, we were proud to be there for this incredible milestone.

This is what going above and beyond looks like at Domus: staying connected, showing up, and making sure our young people know they have people in their corner wherever life takes them.

Congratulations, Cheyenne! We can’t wait to see what comes next.

Thank you to State Representative for visiting Domus to learn more about our work and spend time with young adults in our program!

Our young adults had the opportunity to share their stories, their journeys to Domus, the challenges they’ve overcome, and what makes this community so special to them. They also had the opportunity to ask Rep. Zupkus questions about her role and the work happening at the State Capitol.

We’re proud of how thoughtfully and confidently our young adults showed up, shared their experiences, and engaged in the conversation. These are the moments that remind us how powerful it is when young people have the opportunity to use their voices and be heard.

Thank you, Rep. Zupkus, for taking the time to listen, learn, and connect in our space at Domus! We look forward to seeing you at the Capitol.

Today’s staff development got a little sharky. 🦈

Our team dove into the core competencies of the Domus Relational Model with a Shark Tank-style challenge. We divided into five teams, and staff developed creative ideas, projects, and activities designed to bring each core competency to life, then pitched them to the group.

It was a fun, engaging way to strengthen our shared understanding of the Relational Model, build teamwork, and make sure the principles at the heart of Domus show up in everything we do.
