We are well into the 2019 - 2020 school year and DSABC is very excited to be celebrating our 30 ^th anniversary! It is inspiring to think about the countless number of students that have been positively impacted by this organization, the volunteers, supporters and area businesses, many of which were part of the original collaboration formed in 1990. Our purpose remains the same as it was then - to foster cooperation among businesses, the community and the Danbury Public Schools to promote lifelong learning and the successful transition of youth into society and the workforce.  

As Danbury Student and Business Connection continues to roll out the rebrand initiative, we invite you to explore our newly improved website and preview our redesigned logo. With the new website and logo, we are taking the opportunity to strengthen how we represent our organization and promote our programs to volunteers, schools, partners and the community which we serve. Mentoring as a relationship leveraging experience and knowledge of caring individuals assisting in the growth and development of students has been defined as DSABC's core value.

While we adopt our new brand and look ahead to expanding our programs and developing new connections, we honor the three decades that mentors have been making a difference in the lives of Danbury Public School students. Our year-end student survey responses reinforce the fundamental principles of our mentoring program. When asked what they admire about their mentor, various mentees responded with the following: their mentor is... a good person, open-minded, helpful, easy going, positive, supportive, a good listener and pays attention.   These basic qualities are truly what matters the most.

We invite you all to join us in celebrating thirty years of mentoring - this milestone would not be possible without your continued support of DSABC.   I wish you an enjoyable and fulfilling year of mentoring!
