Beantown Society
Our Purpose
The vision of Beantown Society is to unite youth in Boston across race, class, culture and neighborhood to end youth violence. We believe in changing youth's oppression, neglect-ion, rejection, and depression into youth power. It addresses the oppression that breeds violence in our communities– especially racism, classism, sexism, heterosexism, adultism, and the connections between these systems of oppression – by supporting transformation at the individual, societal, and community levels. We work towards this vision by offering a youth-run afterschool program, as well as workshops, projects and events based on youth interests and necessities. We provide a brave space for youth to express themselves, receive one-on-one support, and become leaders in their community. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7bmtdkmh48zpii9/AABY43KkCm3Y6FncrXqdfsHja?dl=...
