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

Love is a verb.

Friday Night Hype is a place where young people feel safe and experience joy. Our mentors and junior mentors provide experiences for our mentees that are not only educational but also healing. This generation needs adults in their lives who will love and nurture them unconditionally.

We want to thank everyone who has contributed to our success! Most importantly to our mentors and Jr. mentors!
