Thanks to all who came to our first SCI Network Connection event of the season! We greatly appreciate the support! It was very interesting to hear everyone's story of how mentors have made a difference in our lives, and the importance of mentoring others.

That naturally led to mentioning our current opportunity to sign-up as a volunteer Pitch Coach for our upcoming SCI Youth Grant Pitch Contest in 2027!

A very big thank you to long-time SCI supporter Beth Llewellyn Lavoie & her husband Dave Lavoie, for opening your home and inviting friends to this event. Wonderful hosts and champions for the SCI Social Capital Inc. cause!

We'll be offering programs like this roughly once a month, a combination of home-based events like this along with restaurants, community spaces and a very interesting venue, be sure to stay tuned!

Today we want to highlight one of our youth teams from SCI’s 2026 Youth Grant Pitch Contest, which recently held one of the big events supported by their Pitch Contest grant.

Con Manos Unidas We Change hosted their 2nd annual resource fair recently in East Boston. The event brought together both community organizations and members to learn about the different resources available to them in both English and Spanish.

The team recognized that while there was an abundance of resources in their community, the resources weren’t easily accessible and set out to bridge the gap. With the support of their Pitch Contest grant, Con Manos Unidas We Change was able to not only host another successful resource fair but extend their project to further aid their community. They plan to host workshops in October providing financial literacy workshops and workshops providing aid in education opportunities.

The event had live music and SCI Program Manager Nicole Osborne described, “The youth organizers created a space where people can feel comfortable accessing resources.”

Congratulations to the Con Manos Unidas We Change team on being bridge-builders within their community! Thank you to the Boston Bridges Initiative for supporting bridge-building projects like this!

This project is one example of the incredible work of our youth teams from the Youth Grant Pitch Contest.

Following our event last Friday featuring former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy as part of our outreach partnership with Phillips Brooks House Association’s (PBHA) 20th annual Robert Coles “Call of Service” Lecture & Award, we’re looking back at one of our previous connections with him!

In 2023, Dr. Murthy held a public health conversation with US Senator Ed Markey about the post-pandemic youth mental health crisis, loneliness, and the risks of excessive social media use among adolescents.

Two of our LET interns at the time, Kafui Kemeh and Valery Verdier, attended the conversation. As the only two young people in the room, they had a chance to share their opinions with the speakers and media. Kafui agreed with Dr Murthy’s point that social media has its benefits ”Social media can be very helpful but then it can also make us feel worse.”

From 2023 to 2026 it’s incredible to see how the connections we cultivate continue to grow!
