Boston Refugee Youth Enrichment
Boston Refugee Youth Enrichment (BRYE): PBHA’s BRYE Summer has provided academic and emotional support to refugee children and their families since 1987. This summer we will serve about 90 Vietnamese, Latino, Cape Verdean, African, and Haitian children ages six to thirteen in Dorchester. BRYE Summer prioritizes ESL instruction, but Senior Counselors (SCs) design their own curriculum. They work with students and families of amazing strength, often developing long-term relationships and assisting them with many of the challenges recent immigrant families face. Beyond integrating themselves in American life, issues concerning BRYE youth include neighborhood violence and racial tensions between the diverse ethnic groups in Boston. BRYEsummer2010@gmail.com
