Launched
in 2012, d2D is a program supported by Toyota that provides tools, resources,
and training for thousands of Club teens to help prepare them to successfully
transition from high school to college graduation.
“Our
partnership with Toyota allows us to continue combating the high school dropout
crisis locally and prepare our teens for successful futures in college,” said Shaye
Roscoe, executive director, Boys & Girls Club of the Lower Naugatuck Valley.
“But the support doesn’t stop there, from Toyota employees volunteering as mentors, to the tremendous fundraising collaboration with the re-marketing firms; we appreciate Toyota’s commitment to impacting the lives of our nation’s youth.”
