Last week, the GreenLight Boston team had the chance to visit Camp Harbor View's summer camp in the Boston Harbor! Camp Harbor View works with more than 1,000 young Bostonians and their families each year to offer a one-of-a-kind summer camp for students entering grades 6-9, free of cost.

While summer camp programming wrapped up last week, CHV continues to offer year-round leadership development for students in grades 9-12, and comprehensive family services, including college and career planning, scholarships, clinical support, and resource coordination to communities in Boston, all at no cost. Thank you having us!

During the summer, Boston University's PATH Advising Program teamed up with the Boston Private Industry Council and Boston Public Schools (BPS) to open up a new Postsecondary Transition Support Center, giving current and recent BPS graduates a one-stop resource as they head into college, career training, or the workforce.

Housed at the Bolling Municipal Building in Roxbury, the Center offered free, personalized help with everything from college enrollment and financial aid to career exploration and was open weekdays, with in-person and virtual appointments available. Throughout the summer, the center completed outreach to over 1,200 recent BPS graduates to ensure they had the support they needed as they navigate the transition.

Another big congratulations to Amber Black, GreenLight Boston's Associate Director, on successfully completing the Institute for Nonprofit Practice CORE certificate program!

Over the course of the nine-month long program, Amber had the opportunity to engage in skill-building, networking, and individual growth within a cohort of nonprofit, public, and social impact leaders — including Youth Guidance Boston's Director of Development, Laurie Kennedy, and GreenLight Fund Detroit 's Executive Director, Jasahn Larsosa. Kudos to all the graduates!
