Reports & Publications

The Boston Guide to Youth Services is a comprehensive guide to the many opportunities for young people and their families offered by both the City of Boston and the many non-profit organizations in our neighborhoods.


The Boston 2003 Trend Report: Snapshot of Boston's Children and Youth presents a vivid snapshot of life for Boston youth under the age of 18 and for their families. It is a compilation of statistics, surveys, research studies and census figures consolidated into a series of indicators that tells us where the city's youth stand today and where they appear to be headed tomorrow.


The Report of the 2004 Boston Youth Survey, a stratified random sample of 9th through 12th grade students in Boston public and charter schools, presents a vivid snapshot of life in our city for Boston youth 13-19 years of age. Our youth told us directly how they're doing in school, how they spend their time, how physically active they are, how they feel about their self and their future, how safe they feel and much more.
