Sponsor BFY – Trinity Boston Connects

SPONSOR BOSTONIANS FOR YOUTH GALA 2022

Sponsorship packet PDF below

We have much to celebrate despite how much we’ve grieved over the past two years. We saw the twin pandemics of COVID-19 and racial unrest change the world right before our eyes. But we never lost sight of each other as a community, or our vision of an equitable Boston. In fact, that vision came into finer focus as we continued to serve our city’s youth, youth workers, and youth-serving organizations throughout the pandemics — learning, building, and adapting as an organization. Because history has taught us that we, as people and as a community, heal through action every day however big, small, active, or still.

This year, our 15th annual Bostonians for Youth gala will celebrate our collective vision for an equitable Boston, focusing on Healing Through Action as our theme and clarion call. Trinity Boston Connects acts along three healing pathways – youth development, clinical care, and organizational change — to benefit all involved in the systems supporting our youth of color in Boston. We are back in-person this year for an evening of inspiration, activation, and community!

about Trinity Boston Connects

On June 12, 2020, Boston’s Mayor declared racism a public health crisis. In April 2021, the CDC declared racism a serious public health threat. Youth of color in Boston face systemic barriers and inequities at every turn: in education, healthcare and more. Structural racism is statistically deadly for youth of color and simultaneously creates deep emotional and psychological harm impacting academic and life outcomes.

TBC exists to heal the traumatic impact of system racism. We must heal hearts and minds and change behaviors for all involved in the ‘village’ that it takes to raise our children. We must work not only with the youth of color who experience the trauma, but also the systems within which they live and the youth workers with whom they interact.

We use a proven integrated model that fosters healing communities with caring adults rooted in racial equity, restorative justice and trauma-inclusive care practices. Our unique approach is three-pronged. We offer youth development and leadership programs, organizational change training and consulting, and clinical care and wellness services.
