Programming: We provide space, time, and mentoring for doing homework for all the youth attending. We have access to both computers, printers, and internet access for all the children, to facilitate homework assignments. (*) (*) We utilize paid staff, as well as work study and volunteer placements from Tufts University to support the kids...
