OUR MISSION
WPY works to ensure that the wealth of resources in and around Waltham are available for the youth and families who need them most. We facilitate high-impact community partnerships that support health and wellness, leadership development, and economic opportunity for Waltham youth while working to address long-standing structural inequities.

Convene diverse stakeholders to work collectively and strategically toward improved opportunities and outcomes for Waltham's youth.
SUPPORT AND ENHANCE
