We’re back in our school-year space in the South End and ready to launch into our 6th year of the CHV Leadership Academy. Weeknight programs and weekend workshops begin this week and we can’t wait to have young people back in the building.
With more than 200 young people in grade 9-12 participating in weekly programs, our Leadership Academy offers a wrap-around model supporting teens and their families through the year. What does this look like?
Grade-specific curriculum from self-discovery and team building to career exploration and college readiness
Social emotional skill building and one-to-one wellness resources
Resource coordination and family services
In partnership with families, we seek to equip young people with the skills to succeed in high school and beyond.
Want to see the Leadership Academy live? We’d welcome a visit, just send us a note.
Teens in the Camp Harbor View Leadership Academy are gaining new skills and developing campaigns to have a positive impact on social issues, thanks to a new program in partnership with AT&T.
The Positively Digital program will include hands-on training for teens in grades 9-11 in Camp Harbor View’s year-round leadership development program. AT&T selected Camp Harbor View, The Base, and Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston as partners in the project and it kicked off with a panel discussion June 5th at the Boston Public Library.
“While we need to be cognizant of too much screen time and other connectivity dangers like cyberbullying, trolls, and the spread of false information, we think it is time to flip the script a bit and take advantage of an opportunity that is at hand,” the three wrote.
“All of us — parents, teachers, mentors, youth organizations — need to empower kids to think differently about technology and use it as a tool for positive change.”
