SquashBusters was the first youth enrichment program of its kind – combining squash, academics, and community service.
SquashBusters
has launched its second decade of programming! In our previous ten years,
we have served hundreds of students, teaching squash, tutoring, and through
service to the community.
Our students have made leaps and bounds, with 22 alums earning full scholarships to private schools, and 84% of high school graduates matriculating to college. The youth center is constantly abuzz with activity in the after school hours.
We have finished recruitment of our new 6th grade class. Students were selected through a rigorous tryout process from two middle schools, the Timilty and Dearborn Middle Schools in Roxbury. The 8th grade and high school teams have jumped right back into the program, on the court and in the classroom, performing community service projects and visiting high schools and colleges.
We are looking forward to a productive and exciting year, as SquashBusters continues to grow with its kids, as they explore and meet their full potential.
