Teen Futures is a three-year initiative being sponsored by the Hyams Foundation to address the school dropout crisis in the cities of Boston and Chelsea. Today, in these cities, there are over 7,000 young people who have left school and who are unemployed. The goal of this initiative is to improve the success of these young people (ages 16-22) by increasing the number who gain their high school credential and commence a path towards higher education or a career focused training program.
