Cambridge Youth Enrichment Program
PBHA’s CYEP is the largest of the SUP camps and the only one in Cambridge. CYEP consists of three sites serving about 150 children with a total senior staff of 21. Our youth come from low-income families, primarily from North Cambridge, East Cambridge, and Area IV. CYEP serves youth from a wide range of racial, cultural, and religious groups, reflecting the diversity of both the immigrant population in Cambridge and that of the city’s long-term residents. At-risk Cambridge youth are often overlooked because of the focus placed on the universities and biotechnical institutions that dominate much of the landscape. However, almost all of the children CYEP serves receive free school meals and qualify for subsidized and/or public housing. As the only summer camp in Cambridge specifically targeting low-income families, CYEP’s low-cost, quality enrichment programming is in demand each summer. sup.cyep@gmail.com
