History:
ROSCCO (The Rogers School Community Center Organization) was founded as a community center organization to provide programs for the Cove-East side area of Stamford. Incorporated as a not-for-profit in 1975, ROSCCO is presently celebrating its 28th anniversary year. Its founders were community residents, parents, administrators and teachers of Rogers School. Their efforts were supported by both the City of Stamford, which granted ROSCCO Community Development Funds and the Stamford Board of Education which offered in-kind services.

While maintaining its focus on school age/school based programming, ROSCCO has grown into a city wide network administering a variety of family support programs in many school buildings. The ROSCCO Programs address the need for safe, structured and quality programs for families and their children.
