Community Highlight: Lynn, MA (Boston Area)

Lynn is a beautiful anomaly—completely unlike its North Shore counterparts socioeconomically and ethnically.

The community is rich in diversity, with over 70 languages and nationalities represented in the small community. There is incredible value in the multiculturalism Lynn represents, with the melding of New England wealth and first or second generation immigrants presenting truly unique cultural dynamics throughout the area.

How We Support Lynn’s Local Leaders

Since 2002, YouthWorks has been invited to support local community leaders, church partners, and ministries through relational ministry opportunities and Kids Club.

RELATIONAL MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES

These local leaders have identified that YouthWorks summer teams can help strengthen their efforts to provide year-round support for the most under-resourced members of their community.

Relational ministry in Lynn takes on many different forms, including opportunities to care for the elderly members of their community. By serving our community partners in Lynn, you’ll be providing volunteer support for these local leaders who are working year-round to care for the needs of their most vulnerable neighbors.

KIDS CLUB

Another way that Lynn’s local leaders have identified an opportunity for YouthWorks to support their community is through Kids Club programming.

The children of Lynn sit on the threshold of opportunity and disadvantage. Many families struggle with safe child care during the summer months, and our local partners have included Kids Club programming as a part of their year-round efforts to care for the families in their communities.
