We want to thank WBZ Radio (@wbznewsradio) and Suzanne Sausville (@wbzSausville) for shedding a spotlight on the important work that CHA and The Work Force youth program are doing during these unprecedented times for our families and youth. People from low-income communities, along with people of color, have been hit the hardest by this pandemic. The Work Force Youth Program is a consistent, positive presence in the lives of our youth and families and at the forefront of innovation in youth development.
