The BISC Initiative and the Boston Heroes Club have been recognized by our school community, our nonprofit partners, and local media.
The Boston Heroes Club was featured in Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall's official Community eNewsletter, distributed to the entire CH-CH parent, guardian, and faculty community. The feature detailed the Week of Backpack Heroes – including the school spirit behind it and the campaign that raised over $4,000 for Youth Villages, four times the original goal.
The BISC Initiative was recognized in the Youth Villages New England Volunteer Newsletter's Student Leader Spotlight, highlighting founder Ben Mulderry's work building the initiative. The newsletter is distributed to donors, volunteers, and partner organizations across the Youth Villages network.
"Ben's initiative, leadership and commitment are powerful examples of youth driving change, and we are excited to see how his impact continues to grow."
