The Mission
of the Waltham Partnership for Youth, Inc.
is to enhance the quality of young lives in Waltham by
identifying the needs of all Waltham youth and coordinating
resources to help meet those needs. The Priority Objective is to
develop collaborative agreements to support initiatives for
youth. The WPY believes that, by changing the matrix of
how we do business, young lives can be enhanced while community
youth service organizations are strengthened.
The WPY has the vision that all Waltham
youth should have the opportunity to become productive citizens
in the community and the workforce. Comprehensive systems of
community support are necessary to provide these opportunities.
Working to provide such a system, the WPY
-
is the
recognized leader bringing essential constituencies together
around youth issues;

central source of information about youth issues in Waltham;
-
has the
support of multiple sectors: the city, the business sector,

collaboratively to build strength-based plans for youth
success;
