Please consider donating to The Wily Network and/or More Than Words, two local organizations with missions we support.

The Wily Network

More Than Words

The Wily Network

The Wily Network partners with college students in the greater Boston area who are working towards their degrees without emotional or financial support from family. Wily provides a critical safety net for Scholars as they navigate college independently.

Wily Scholars bring unique experiences, challenges, strengths and goals to the college journey. Some have experienced homelessness or foster care, some have been denied family support due to their sexual orientation or gender identity, some have lost their parents, and some have family members dealing with addiction, mental illness or incarceration. All are talented and motivated, and all are braving college on their own.

The Wily Network program offers weekly clinical coaching, financial assistance, community-building support, and networking opportunities to help Scholars move from surviving to thriving.

More Than Words

More Than Words is a Boston-based non-profit organization that empowers young people, particularly those who are system-involved, court-involved, homeless, or out of school, by providing them with real-world job skills and experience.

More than Words operates as a brick and mortar book store, thrift store, online store, book truck, community event space and more, wholly operated by the program's participants. Youth also receive support through case management, career guidance, coaching and mentorship.
