PROGRAM
Launched in the summer of 2014, is a six-week summer academic enrichment project that teaches STEM concepts to middle school students in fun and engaging ways, to increase their understanding of and confidence in these subjects. The program introduces 27 to 40 students to careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields, it helps to improve students’ performance in STEM subjects in school, and it emphasizes the importance of math and science in everyday life. The program hopes to expand to serve youth year-round through monthly Science Clubs to encourage youth to consider pursuing STEM careers.
The Wellness Program (formerly generation excel youth development program) was founded in 1992, with a mission “to provide direct services and opportunities for growth to underserved, low-income at-risk and high-risk youth and their families.” After decades of being a gang intervention program—working with youth caught in the wave of violence sweeping through Boston—the program changed in 2013 to provide the academic, social and emotional support at-risk and high-risk youth needed to enable them to grow-up to become productive young adults.
