Garden City Resident Volunteers

Stephen Dachille, a freshman at Connecticut College, is a volunteer for Project Kids, Books, Athletics (KBA). Dachille volunteers through the Office of Volunteers for Community Service (OVCS) at Connecticut College. OVCS plays a key role in teaching students about community engagement and the best practices of participation.

Dachille, a 2006 graduate of Garden City School, is the son of Susan and Thomas Dachille of Garden City.

Project KBA promotes reading and physical fitness in the children of New London. Students complete a training program, work in teams with other Connecticut College students and travel to schools and community after school programs. They lead a series of structured physical fitness activities and read multicultural stories with local preschool, elementary and middle school age youth.
