Do you want to get involved and make a positive contribution to the youth community in Dorchester and Boston? Are you looking for a fun place to go after school where you can learn about ways to play a leadership role in the community? Or are you worried about a friend?  Do you wonder if everything is OK in his or her relationship? 


Close to Home is creating opportunities for young people to make a difference in the lives of their friends and in their community. Dating violence affects 1 in 4 young women in high school. Many youth are living with violence in their homes.

Close to Home’s youth network is a space to meet new people, spend time with old friends, and develop solutions to dating and domestic violence through organizing and community service. Click here to read more!
