Please join the the Boston Center for Community & Justice for the Fall 2009 Business Network Breakfast focusing on youth violence prevention.

While Boston has seen some kinds of crime decrease, youth in our city continue to experience a high level of violence that affects their development and success. The business community has begun to recognize its stake in the well-being of Boston’s youth, and many organizations are looking for meaningful ways to make a difference. This program will overview the issues of youth violence in our city, and highlight approaches that provide meaningful support for youth and return on companies’ investment.
