The “Cultural Identity and Belonging” workshop presented this February, as part of the partnership between EVkids College Success and Boston Health Initiative (BHI), a student-run organization at Northeastern University, demonstrated the value of shared experience in mentoring.
In January, EVkids students were invited to participate in a virtual Career Panel, organized by the EVkids Youth Council. Alondra O., a longtime EVkids program participant and Youth Council member, currently studying Health & Society at UMass Dartmouth, reports back.
In December, EVkids students were invited to participate in a virtual Financial Literacy workshop. Lascelle M., a longtime EVkids program participant, camp counselor, and Youth Council member, currently studying Sociology at UMass Boston, reports back.
In November, EVkids students were invited to participate in a virtual workshop called “How to Destress/Knowing When You Are Becoming Stressed.” Jared B, a senior at Boston College High School and a member of the EVkids Youth Council, reported back about his experience.
As the FY2025 budget was finalized at the end of July, several vital line items that directly support mentoring and afterschool programs were partially vetoed by the Governor.
