Achieve is a tuition-free educational program serving low-income middle school students. Achieve seeks to increase our scholars’ academic skills, motivation, and self-confidence, and put them on the path to college. We do this by providing academic and social enrichment through a rigorous and engaging six-week summer program, as well as ongoing academic year tutoring and support. Achieve students join the program the summer after 6th grade, and graduate from the program in the summer before 9th grade. The students all attend public schools in Boston, and live in various neighborhoods throughout the City including Mattapan, Dorchester, Roxbury, Roslindale and Hyde Park. Nearly all of our scholars are students of color, and all come from low-income families.

BACK TO SCHOOL looks very different this year! We know remote learning in the spring was challenging for many children. We also know many parents struggled with trying to balance work, home and school. Here at Boys & Girls Clubs of Dorchester we are pivoting, designing a Learning Hub that will offer Learning Groups within each building. Learning Hubs are designed to support k-8 students as they adapt to distance learning and eventually, the hybrid model. Once the hybrid model begins, children will come to the Club on days they would normally be home. One exception will be Wednesdays. We are planning a rotation to allow for every other Wednesday, based on your child’s assigned group at BPS. The Club staff will engage cohorts of children grouped by age/ grade level to support remote learning for families in need of full-day programming this fall. Children will come to the Club and sign onto their classrooms with their school issued Chromebook. Staff will be here to assist with questions, technology issues, etc. Our hope is that our staff will develop relationships with the BPS teachers as well, allowing for more meaningful support for each child. Additional activities will include: arts & crafts, stem, health/wellness/fitness, outdoor play, and more.
