YOU Boston and our partners (BCYF, BPD, Mayor’s Office of Public Safety Initiatives, and the Building Trades) celebrated the graduation of 15 participants from Operation Exit (2nd Cycle). Congratulations to the team and our graduates for a job well done!

In addition, coordinated case management and placement services will be provided to assist participants in achieving their career goals.
