Leading Youth to Equity !
Friday Night Hype - Connecting Scholars to Fun, Structured Activities, Opportunties, and new Positive Relationships
WHAT'S ALL THE HYPE
Friday Night Hype is a mentor program created by educators at the Cambridge Public Schools serving 1250 students in grades 6-8. We offer programming to all middle school age Cambridge residents, including kids who attend charter schools.
Our mission is to provide safe spaces for our most vulnerable students, to participate in educational and therapeutic activities through mentorship with positive role models/mentors. Along with activities and mentorship, we provide a hot meal to all, where kids and mentors are able to eat together. FNH takes place one Friday a month all year.

HOW WE DO THE HYPE
Friday Night Hype began as a once a month program for Middle School students who often found themselves in life’s most disadvantageous avenues. Friday Night Hype was designed to be an assortment of small “victories” for students who viewed their lives as more on the losing side than winning.
