Youth Programs provides free youth development programs for those ages 14-24 in Hampshire County, Franklin County, and the North Quabbin region. We help young people build the skills, resources, and resilience to overcome barriers and be successful in adolescence and adult life.
Regarding COVID-19
Due to concern around the COVID-19 virus and directives from the State of Massachusetts, Community Action Youth & Workforce Development Programs has suspended all in-person group programming. Individual services are being provided virtually to participants.
