A positive relationship with an adult can be a powerful factor in determining youth’s well-being. Research shows that youth who have healthy, stable connections with an adult are more resilient to stress and are less likely to engage in risky behavior. Staff at high-quality programs encourage individual youth, engage in friendly verbal exchanges, and listen actively and attentively to students.

Case Study: Hale Reservation (elementary school)

Hale’s summer program works with six schools in Boston, offering academics and an enrichment component to help develop social-emotional skills.

Case Study: PIC with Boston International (high school)

The Boston PIC program with Boston International High School is a summer remediation program that works with high school students by providing employment and academic opportunities.

Case Study: Crossroads for Kids (3rd through 8th grade)

Crossroads for Kids is a five-year long program that works with at-risk youth, and uses experiential learning to provide learning opportunities in leadership development, character growth, community action, and college and career readiness.
