Yawkey Foundation supports ABCD Youth Access Pack

March 6th, 2023

The following is an excerpt from our partner’s press release.

The Yawkey Foundation donated $40,000 to the ABCD Youth Access Pack project to support under-resourced youth facing severe social and economic barriers. The grant supported monthly access packs for 25 participants in ABCD’s Career Explorations and HOPES youth career development programs throughout 2022. The young people who benefited from this project also face challenges, including being pregnant or parenting, homelessness, exposure to violence, court involvement, and a high incidence of substance abuse and behavioral health issues.
