Funding Youth Leadership

In 2007, our supporters provided the means to hire 87 young people in our after-school, weekend and summer programs -- teens who honed their leadership skills and became proactive, positive role models for their peers – while gaining valuable job skills and getting paid.

• Thirteen teens were hired as youth staff during the academic year and summer. They crafted workshops to help peers learn the elements of youth leadership; co-led portions of our summer, weekend, after-school and drop-in programming; organized events; and did outreach, administrative, development and advocacy work.
• 58 teens received stipends in our Summer Leadership Program, and interned for up to 16 hours each week at dozens of nonprofit organizations throughout Greater Boston.
• 16 teens became Youth Outreach Weekend Student Leaders who guided nearly every component of the weekend programming, including developing and leading ice-breakers, workshops, and seminars; organizing the community service work at shelters, soup kitchens and food pantries; coordinating weekend logistics like shopping, cooking and cleanup; and more.

All 87 teens developed valuable job skills and work experience. Just as important, they learned the value of doing work that promotes youth leadership among their peers and social justice in their communities.

Thanks to the support of so many who make this youth work possible.

To Our Supporters

Our work is possible because of the commitment and dedication of so many generous donors and volunteers who allow our programming to thrive. Each year, hundreds of teens from the city and surrounding communities gain invaluable life experiences and leadership skills through the individuals and institutions that support us. With sincere gratitude, we thank all of those who through their generosity and belief in the work we do, help young people live the promise we see in them. On behalf of everyone in The City School community, a heartfelt thank you!

A Special Thank You to the 4C's Society

The 4C’s Society is a very special community of individuals,
families and institutions who, through multi-year pledges, support our youth programming in a significant and ongoing way.
Named after our four elements of leadership – critical thinking, consciousness, communication, and community building – the 4C’s
Society is essential to our long-range planning and growth.
We are ever grateful to 4C’s Society members who gave so
generously last fiscal year.
