About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Mission: 

The “I Have A Dream” Foundation's mission is to empower children from under-resourced communities to succeed in school, college, and career by providing academic, social, and emotional support from elementary school through college, along with postsecondary tuition assistance.

Programs: 

The "I Have A Dream" Foundation works to ensure that all children have the opportunity to pursue higher education, fulfill their potential, and achieve their dreams. We empower children (“Dreamers”) in under-resourced communities to graduate from college by equipping them with the skills and knowledge to succeed in postsecondary school, along with tuition support to remove financial barriers. By helping our Dreamers gain access to college, we are putting them on a different academic and life trajectory, while having a broader impact on the students' families and the generations that follow.

IHDF works with Dreamers after school, on the weekends, and over the summer for over ten years, developing long-term relationships with Dreamers and their families. We provide academic and socio-emotional support to Dreamers, equipping them with the confidence and life skills needed to pursue their most ambitious dreams.

L’Arche (French for ‘The Ark’) is a faith community that makes explicit the dignity of every human being by building inclusive communities where people with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities share life together. Community members are transformed through relationships of mutuality, respect, and companionship as they live, work, pray and play together.
People with intellectual and developmental disabilities are at the heart of L’Arche. They are not clients, patients, or recipients of services, but rather they are friends and teachers. People without intellectual and developmental disabilities grow through their encounters in L’Arche. Through daily acts of care, trust, and friendship, we develop into ambassadors of compassion and leaders of social change and the common good.

Why Work For Us?: 

Here at L’Arche Boston North, we strive to make the ordinary moments of each day – cooking, attending appointments, going out for coffee - a bit more extraordinary by doing it together.

Companion Assistants in L'Arche spend time with and provide care for adults with intellectual disabilities in our homes.

Companion Assistants learn invaluable skills related to emotional intelligence and teamwork while building relationships with a diverse network of people.

If you are looking for a place where your gifts and faith are not only embraced, but celebrated, and you have a compassionate spirit and a willingness to learn and grow, L’Arche could be the perfect fit for your next opportunity. No previous experience required!

Action for the Climate Emergency

Overview
Headquarters: 
Boston, MA
About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Mission: 

ACE educates, inspires and supports young people to lead the fight for their future. We ensure they have everything they need to understand the science and advocate for solutions to the climate emergency.

We envision a world in which a global movement, rich in youth leadership, has turned the tide on climate change. We believe an equitable, biodiverse, carbon neutral future is still within reach if we, the people, compel our leaders to act.

We believe in justice and equity. Communities most impacted by racial injustice and social inequity are also those most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. We place special focus on lifting up these voices within the global climate movement.

We believe in telling the whole truth, because young people have the right to understand the science of the climate emergency and how it is inextricably linked to the economic, social, and leadership choices we make.

We believe in the creativity and power of young people to lead the way in imagining a better future — a future safe from climate chaos, free from environmental injustice, rich in biodiversity and prosperous for all.

We believe in the courage of young people to stand up against misinformation, falsehoods and climate injustice wherever they occur.
