This year’s conference theme is Rooted in Wellness, Growing in Community, emphasizing the importance of self-care as the foundation for our girls’ mental health and well-being. Too often, our girls are told they must push through and remain resilient, even at the expense of their well-being. Through this event, we are flipping that narrative—we want our girls to prioritize their mental health and embrace self-care unapologetically. When our girls take the time to care for themselves, they not only thrive individually but also strengthen their communities.

Tickets for this year’s Annual Conference are sold out. We invite you to join the waitlist for your girl.

Please join us for a virtual panel discussion of effective models for engaging and supporting opportunity youth at different stages of their career and educational journeys. The panel will include:

• Rashad Cope (Moderator), Deputy Chief of Worker Empowerment
• Tanisha DeLeon, Deputy Director, YOU Boston
• Kelly Folsom, Director, Bridge-to-Training Programs, X-Cel Education
• Davo Jefferson, Executive Director, PowerCorps Boston

Presented by the Worker Empowerment Learning Lab and the Opportunity Youth Collaborative.

This Saturday, March 15, 2025, Boston’s best youth spellers in grades four through seven will compete in the 17th annual BCYF Citywide Spelling Bee hosted by Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF), the City of Boston's largest youth and human service agency.  The winner will go on to participate in the Scripps National Spelling Bee, the nation's largest and longest-running spelling bee, in Washington, D.C. in May. There will be a brief speaking program before the start of the Bee where all spellers will receive participation medals.

 Last year, the Bee went 13 rounds plus one final and one championship round. The 11 year-old champion, Tanoshi Inomata, who also won in 2023, won by spelling "cornea” correctly. The Bee’s longtime sponsor is the Boston Bruins Foundation.

This March, Boston Public Schools students are taking over our art galleries for the annual Youth Art Month exhibition. The works on display reflect the quality instruction of our teachers and the dedication, skill development, and creativity of our students. We encourage you to explore the exhibit and be inspired by their vision. Featuring works of art from more than 300 BPS students!
