The OGRCC - Old Greenwich-Riverside Community Center is an organization whose goal is to promote a sense of community by providing recreational, athletic, educational and social programs for our members. The sense of community we share in our town does not happen automatically. It is due largely to the experiences we share on the ballfields and in the classrooms of the OGRCC's programs. From "Little Stars" to "Little League" and "Kitchen Tours" to "Model Sailboat Races" our programs serve a broad spectrum of ages, interests, skills and abilities. We feel strongly about our community and continually strive to make it better through our programs.
