Greetings from the Cambridge Food Bank. I am contacting you today to introduce you to a program we run here at the food bank for male/male-identifying high school-aged youth. The target audience for this group is the youth who may be struggling with social connections and/or have other neurodiversity that makes peer connections difficult.
We ran this group as a pilot last year and received incredible feedback from the youth and their caregivers. We hope to have more youth join us this year. The program is free, and we integrate building essential life skills, developing friendships, and volunteer work, all in a non-threatening and engaging way that appeals to boys.
