Bethel Institute for Community Development

BICD’s mission is to provide the academic, social and emotional support for high-risk youth and families in Greater Boston in ways that measurably transform their lives and communities in which they live. The Institute’s focus has developed into achieving a fully-formed community membership, endeavoring to re-weave the entire fabric of its participants and their communities by:

• Furnishing necessary support services
• Bolstering the overall community-building capacity for its developing youth members...
• Enabling them to change their lives by following a path to success they themselves helped chart
• Reach back into our neighborhoods to share, teach, grow, and help others realize a bright, hopeful future
