Programs, to contact us, or to get involved!
St. Stephen's Youth Programs serves more than 600 children and teens
who live in lower income neighborhoods in Boston and Chelsea. We
offer three programs for young people:
The mission of St. Stephen’s Youth Programs is to serve the youth of
Boston's and Chelsea's lower income neighborhoods by providing
affordable out-of-school time programming and offering safe,
challenging, and supportive communities in which they can thrive. We
strive to build communities where all people feel safe, feel big, and
feel connected.
To fulfill that mission, our Youth Programs promote:
- Safety: Our gathering spaces are well-supervised and physically
and emotionally safe.
- Growth: Our integrated, year-round programming supports
academic progress, the development of new skills, and exposure
to new activities and experiences, all of which give young people
a bigger sense of themselves. As youth get older, there is an
increased focus on developing life and leadership skills and
promoting civic involvement and responsibility.
- Relationships: We encourage the development of a loving
community based on meaningful relationships between children,
teens, parents, teachers, staff, volunteers, and neighbors.
