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.

Invictus decided it was time for a CHARGE UP! so the crew headed to Sleeping Giant for a hike, fresh air, and time together outside the usual routine.

Days like this are about more than getting out on the trail. They are about building confidence, strengthening relationships, clearing heads, and creating space for young people to reset, reconnect, and keep moving forward.

Proud of this group and grateful for every step on the path.

Books, letters, and matcha lattes—what could be better?

This summer, our middle school students are participating in the Pen Pal Club, writing weekly letters and building connections through the power of storytelling and communication.

They're also joining our Latte Summer Book Club Series, where we'll read a new book each month, meet at a student-selected local café, discuss the book, and rate the café's matcha lattes to crown the summer champion! 🏆🍵

We're excited for a summer filled with reading, friendship, conversation, and lots of matcha reviews!

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.
