They partner with to provide paid opportunities to youth. Led by Vina, their youth worker, students learn about advocacy, facilitation and organizing.

to the team at for inviting us to share in their annual tradition of decorating the city’s in advance of ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

Hero Squares are the city’s way of honoring the sacrifice of service members who are killed in the line of duty. In all, there are over 1,200 hero squares in Boston. We were able to hang fresh wreaths on all squares in the End and End on Saturday morning.

Each Hero Square is more than just a sign; it’s a respectful homage placed at an intersection near the service member’s beloved home or a place of great significance to them. If you see one in your neighborhood, please take the time to learn more about that service member’s sacrifice. 🇺🇸
