Through its programming, the organization serves more than 700 youth from urban communities, providing social, recreational and learning opportunities. The nonprofit traces its origins to 1997, when founder Zack Lehman created a program for inner-city youth in a Boston neighborhood, and it was formally established in spring 2000 to expand its reach.
