The Dynamy John S. Laws Youth Academy creates a path to success for promising, first-generation high school students with strong academic potential and college aspirations. The Youth Academy combines a robust slate of academic services with community service, internships, and assistance with all aspects of college planning – helping to ensure that our students are accepted to college, persist to a degree, and achieve their personal and professional goals. Our 2023 graduates have just begun their second semesters at schools including Boston University, Suffolk University, UMass Amherst and UMass Lowell, Bentley University, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Clark University, Anna Maria College, and Salve Regina University.

Our students’ continued success would not be possible without the generous support of foundation donors.
