Our TEEPers wrapped up their summer on August 7, but our youth and young adult staff had one more week together! 💙

TEEP Clean Up Week brought our LITs, Counselors, Managers, and TBC staff together to close out the program. We started by cleaning and caring for the Trinity Church Boston undercroft that TEEP called home all summer. Then, our LITs visited our amazing partners at Suffolk Construction, where they toured a job site and learned about different careers within the industry.

We ended the week with an unforgettable overnight adventure in the White Mountains with the Appalachian Mountain Club. Together, we tackled multiple hikes - including summiting Mt. Willard - made s’mores, watched the Perseid meteor shower, and spent one last evening in a restorative circle around the campfire. 🏔️🌠

Thank you for an unforgettable summer!!

One last TEEP adventure! 🎢

Last Friday, we closed out TEEP with a trip to Canobie Lake Park. After an incredible five weeks, our TEEPers have officially wrapped up their summer with us. We couldn’t be prouder of everything they accomplished, tried, learned, and brought to our community this year. 💙

Now it’s Cleanup Week for our LITs and staff, but for our TEEPers... that’s a wrap on TEEP 2026!! 🎉

Another great week at TEEP! ☀️💙

Week 2 included an exciting trip to the Museum of Science, hands-on STEM challenges like building bottle rockets and testing egg drops, creative exploration in the Makerspace at Boston University, time outside playing football, and daily Math, ELA, and Health classes.

We also welcomed environmentalist and activist Alex Alex for the second installment of our three-part Speaker Series. TEEPers engaged in conversations about systems of oppression, identity, and how communities can come together to create change.

Every week at TEEP gives our young people new opportunities to learn, grow, and discover what they're capable of - stay tuned this summer for more!

TEEP Summer 2026 is officially underway! ☀️ This week, students have jumped into math and ELA each morning, learned from Holocaust survivor Jack Trompetter in a newly piloted TEEP Speaker Series, and headed to Blue Hills Reservation for swimming and a cookout.

When asked what she's most excited about this summer, Jasmine, a rising 6th grader, shared, "Going to Canobie Lake and rock climbing and I want to make new friends... [TEEP is] a really good opportunity, you guys should come." 💙

This summer is filled with field trips, career exploration, hands-on learning, and new experiences designed to help young people build confidence, discover new interests, and create lasting memories. We can't wait to share it all with you - stay tuned!

Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas were finally liberated more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.

For Black communities, Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, culture, joy, and resistance.

For those who are not Black, consider this day an opportunity to learn the full history of slavery in the United States and examine how that history is often softened, distorted, or omitted altogether.

If you have the day off, we encourage you to support Black-owned businesses and non-profits, attend local events, and engage with the stories and lived experiences of Black neighbors and community leaders.

There are SO MANY events and celebrations honoring Juneteenth this weekend - we have a few listed here but please mention any we missed in the comments. Check out for a comprehensive directory of the local, Black owned businesses you can support today and year-round.

TBC honors those who came before us and continues the work of creating a more equitable City for young Bostonians. ❤️🖤💚
