Youth Guidance Boston

Thanks to the @nbafoundation for naming Youth Guidance one of 40 nonprofit grantees for this year!⁠ ⁠ The NBA Foundation drives economic opportunity in through funding programs that focus on successful transitions from school to meaningful employment for youth

As we embark on another year of celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, we are filled with immense pride and gratitude for the incredible richness of cultures, talents, and perspectives that our Hispanic colleagues, friends and supporters bring to Youth Guidance.

Hispanic Heritage Month serves as a poignant reminder that our mission extends beyond the guidance we provide to youth; it also encompasses fostering an inclusive environment and healing communities where every voice is valued, and every background is respected.

At Youth Guidance, we have always believed that our differences are our strengths. It is through our diversity that we find the unique power to connect with the young people we serve and help them navigate their paths to success.

A fun moment as we shared how BAM and WOW work at the Mildred last week! Turns out, our BAM Curriculum Specialists were alumni of the school - and teachers couldn't wait to show off the old yearbooks! Swipe to see some shots of the team on their journey of Becoming A Man 😂

Welcome back @BostonSchools students! Grateful to our amazing portfolio organizations working to make this school year the best one yet! @PeerHealthExch @FriendsBoston @YG_Boston @RaisingAReaderM @AdvisingCorps

At the Mildred Ave K-8 School, we were thrilled to roll out the red carpet and welcome back our scholars along with @MayorWu and Superintendent Mary Skipper as we celebrate the year ahead!!

Happy first day of school for @bostonpublicschools students across the district and especially the 12 schools across BPS where we run BAM and WOW!

Happy First day of School to our scholars, partners and friends @cambridge_cpsd! It was a busy summer running summer programming at CRLS, volunteering with the Cambridge Jazz Festival, and brushing up on our facilitation skills - but we're so excited to be back!

Some moments from the Burke this week! In the run up to the start of school, BAM and WOW staff lead circles for to teachers at our schools so that they have a chance to experience the program and better understand the work that scholars at their school will be doing this year!

Happy First Day of School to our BAM and WOW scholars, teachers and families in @somervillepublicschools!! We're looking forward to an amazing year of growth, connection, and community building at Somerville High, the Healey School and Winter Hill!

An amazing week welcoming our partners @Fidelity to the Youth Guidance Boston Summer Training Academy! This week, scholars are connecting BAM and WOW values like Accountability, and Visionary Goal-Setting to financial literacy skills like budgeting, credit scores and investing!

We're excited for the @NAACP 114th convention in Boston this weekend - we knew had to give back at the Day of Action last week! Check the pics of BAM and WOW in action! Shoutout to @Thedavissystem for including us in the work at Upham's Corner!!
