Supporting Youth and Families
Providing community-based programs and partnerships to address opportunity gaps in Cambridge and beyond.
Our Programs
Our programs foster and uplift community members who find themselves on the margins, vulnerable populations, and Black and Brown families and youth.
Friday Night Hype
Friday Night Hype is a dynamic mentor program created by educators at the Cambridge Public Schools serving students in grades 6-8. The program takes place one Friday per month all year and is open to all middle school-aged Cambridge residents. Each night begins with a warm, shared meal and is followed by a wide-range of fun, affirming, uplifting, and educational activities led by local mentors.
The Spot
The Spot provides Cambridge families in need with a multitude of resources including gently used clothing, coats, shoes, menstrual products, and diapers.
We serve all families including those who have recently immigrated to our community and those experiencing homelessness.
