Description

The middle school years can be difficult for young people, with so many questions about the world around them and their place in it as they come of age. YW Boston recently launched a program called "F.Y.R.E.", or Fierce Youth Re-Igniting Excellence, which focuses on teaching BIPOC girls and gender-expansive youth resilience, confidence, and leadership skills, while offering them an understanding space to talk about whatever's on their mind. President and CEO Aba Taylor and F.Y.R.E. Director Jay Boss join Nichole this week to talk about the program's mission and impact among Boston's youth.
