Youth Graduates Celebrate Virtually

Mentors, friends, and staff came together with the youth seniors to celebrate their graduation from the program. Together they shared music, laughter, and memories of being a part of the Youth Center (YC). Graduating youth will be attending colleges in the fall, including UMass Boston, UMass Amherst, Bunker Hill Community College, Boston University, Bentley University, and Wentworth. Congratulations to all of our youth for their accomplishments and perseverance!

“YC is like another home for me. When I first joined, I didn’t feel anything until I learned about Chinatown history and met a group of friends who all are very nice to me.”

[BCNC] has helped me to become a leader and get to be more open to know more people and more outgoing. It has supported me through my whole high school life and I see YC as my second home.

“I have met a lot of friends at YC. While working with them, they have provided a lot of help to make me become a better person. There are also mentors that gave me a lot of advice about college and my future decision.”
