"CHV did not give us everything. They gave us the tools so we could build it ourselves." Jennifer Lopes, Parent

CHV partners with Boston families because we know that young people will only thrive when they
have trusted support systems at home and in their communities. Our year-round family programs
include skill-building workshops, social gatherings, panel discussions and more. Families in our
Guaranteed Income Program receive $652 per month in cash with no strings attached. Other
families receive up to $3,000 for necessities like food, heat, and medical bills through our
Emergency Flex Fund.

"The Leadership Academy gave me a head start to being a true leader." - John Vasquez, 12th Grade.

More than 200 summer camp alumni in grades 9-12 come to the Connors Leadership Academy in Dorchester at least once a week to participate in a year-long curriculum, discussions, trainings, and field trips with peers from across Boston. Teens work with the CHV team on college and career prep, leadership skills, arts and service projects, and more — all on the path to becoming change agents, advocates, and innovators.
