The BCYF Menino Center offers a wide range of programs for area youth that include tutoring, afterschool enrichment, computer classes, robotics, sports, fitness, mentoring, leadership clubs, tech clubs, and family fun. The Chromebooks will be used for the tutoring program at the center to provide children with access to proper learning equipment to complete schoolwork, homework, and tutoring sessions, and will be used by the Boston Police ACT-UP program. The Boston Police ACT-UP program is an arts program that incorporates monologues, scene work, poetry, videography, and photography elements in an environment where police and youth can overcome trauma through artistic creativity.

“We founded our own nonprofit, City Kids, to support initiatives that spark the intellectual curiosity of Boston’s children,” said CRG managing partner and City Kids co-founder, Stephen Whalen. “We are proud to provide these educational resources to the BCYF Menino Center and Boston Police ACT-UP program, which do so much to help our youth and make our community stronger.”
