☀️ BCYF SuperTeens is back! ☀️ Registration is now OPEN for SuperTeens 2026.

The BCYF SuperTeens Program is a six-week leadership program designed exclusively for 13-year-olds. The program focuses on helping participants strengthen important life skills such as communication, collaboration, teamwork, and problem-solving in a supportive and engaging environment.

Throughout the summer, youth in the SuperTeens Program are mentored by BCYF staff and participate in webinars and professional development workshops that highlight valuable employment and leadership skills. Participants also enjoy weekly in-person social and recreational activities, including field trips to museums, team challenges, and creative design activities. The program encourages civic engagement while promoting physical health and wellness through a variety of interactive experiences.

SuperTeens participants have the opportunity to develop new skills, build friendships, and enjoy a fun and meaningful summer experience. They attend educational workshops and activities designed to prepare them for success in school and future employment opportunities, while also participating in social and recreational programming that helps foster confidence and community connections.

This is a wonderful program, and we are always excited to welcome new, energetic teens to join the SuperTeens community. Participants will have the chance to explore Boston through field trips across the city, connect with other teens, and even earn a stipend along the way.

With 19 sites across Boston, spots fill up quickly and registration is first come, first served.

🔗 Apply now at Boston.gov/BCYF-SuperTeens

The program typically concludes with a special End of Summer Celebration held in August. This event brings together the entire program for an evening of recognition, awards, and celebration of the participants’ accomplishments throughout the summer.

We were recently asked to share this on behalf of We were recently asked to share this on behalf of a Bostonian who, back in his heyday, spent plenty of time in our Brighton Main Streets district. As we read about Brendan Donovan's new memoir, we couldn't help but think that many of the stories he shares may have unfolded in some of the familiar places—past and present—that have long been part of Brighton's history.

Brendan's new memoir, HAPPYSAD: Getting Over the One That Got Away, is an honest and deeply personal story about love, heartbreak, addiction, depression, healing, and the courage it takes to finally tell the truth about your life. Filled with Boston references and a healthy dose of humor alongside some difficult moments, it's already earning praise from early readers for its vulnerability and authenticity.

It isn't easy to put yourself out there—especially when you're sharing your most vulnerable moments and life's biggest struggles. That takes courage, and we want to wish Brendan all the best as he shares his story with the world.

If you're looking to support a local author or enjoy memoirs with strong Boston roots, consider checking out HAPPYSAD.

Congratulations, Brendan, and best of luck with your book!
