Keylatch Summer Program
Keylatch Summer Program (Keylatch): PBHA’s Keylatch provides underserved children from Boston’s South End with a high-quality, enriching summer camp experience. Racial tensions and inter-neighborhood violence abound, and most of the youth violence that occurs in Boston takes place in and around the South End. The community is facing many problems due to gentrification and the loss of public housing space, as low-income housing is encroached upon by market-rate buyers and more and more of the neighborhood is built up by developers of high-end real estate. Insufficient schools and bilingual education are a major problem for the largely Latino (primarily Puerto Rican) residents, and the bilingual children in the camp. ksp.sup2010@gmail.com
