Thanks to support from our friends at @CommCorp_MA, this month more than 150 Chelsea youth began their summer jobs—in art programs, with the @CityofChelseaPD, and more—through the Collaborative's Summer Youth Employment Initiative! We are excited to watch our youth grow.
RT @LEAP4Ed: Lishberny, our College Success Program intern, offers food for thought: "How will you know how far you can go if you don’t take the first step?" Interns learned about getting out of their comfort zones in last week's @SignalSuccess workshop
