About The Depot

The Depot has been Darien’s youth center for over 35 years. With the ongoing national youth mental health crisis and the rise in local teen suicide, The Depot is more critical to our community than ever! We help teens and tweens develop leadership skills, find and become mentors, and give back to others, all crucial components of building resiliency, a key factor in youth well-being. Our middle school programs provide structured fun, while our high school clubs offer leadership development, substance-free social events, and many opportunities to make a difference in our community. Last year, over 3,000 students in grades 4-12 attended Depot programming and events. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, The Depot heavily relies on Darien residents' generosity to keep our doors open and our programs going!
