We are in this together…

YCC tripled the number of therapy sessions provided since the start of the pandemic.

We are currently developing plans for new youth groups but

we depend on local support to do this important work.

Please consider making a gift to help us keep our services open and accessible. Thank you.

“YCC to me is a safe and empowering place where I know my voice will be heard and my actions can make a difference.”

One woman is wearing a gray blouse, another is in a pink patterned blouse, and the third is in a black and white floral top. The man is partly visible on the right, with curly hair and a beard.

We are so honored that we have been awarded a grant by the Cummings Foundation. To date, Cummings Foundation has awarded  nearly $600 million in grants to nonprofits based in greater Boston. It seeks to provide vital funding to mostly local charities that are working to improve the lives of community members through education, healthcare, human services, and social justice programs. We are so grateful to be among the 150 non-profits to receive support! Check out their amazing work here!
