The COMPASS School offers a Transitions Program for students aged 18-21 who spend part of their school day working on academic requirements, while using the rest of the day participating in job readiness activities, both on site and in the community.
According to Teacher Colleen, "It’s been tough getting internships this year for the kids due to COVID, so I really thought about how can we get them to work."
Over the past month, the Transitions students and staff have been planting, maintaining, and harvesting a community garden near COMPASS. They have been preparing a raised bed for transplanting in addition to recently cleaning up all of the trash in and around the garden!

May is National Asian-American and Pacific Islander heritage month, which pays tribute to the generations of Asian and Pacific Islanders who have enriched America's history and are instrumental in its future success.
Today, we are highlighting Vice President Kamala Harris, the first South Asian-American US Senator and the first South Asian-American Vice President. Her journey to be the highest-ranking women in the United States government has been about breaking many barriers.
At COMPASS, we celebrate the tremendous power that diversity brings. We continue to stand with the Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi American community in calling out hate. compassboston.org/news/compass-statement/
