On Mother's Day, COMPASS proudly joined the Annual Mother's Day Walk for Peace in Dorchester, founded in 1996 by the Louis D Brown Peace Institute. We walked in solidarity with families impacted by violence and raised over $500 to support the Institute’s powerful mission of healing, teaching, and community peacebuilding.
Thank you to everyone who supported our team—together, we take steps toward a more peaceful future. 💜

Former COMPASS School students Sharif Mohamed and Jalen Bernard (Class of 2012) returned to COMPASS to visit and tell their success stories.
Jalen works for the City of Cambridge and is the Head Track & Field Coach for Cambridge Rindge & Latin School. He is graduating from Salem State next spring with a degree in Criminal Justice.
Sharif works in Malden for the U.S. Postal Service and is a proud father of four children. He enjoys spending time with his children and sharing his life experiences with them.
Both attended COMPASS School at the same time and reminisced about the good ole days sharing stories with staff and friends. Each told their story of how COMPASS School helped to prepare them for their futures and how to be responsible contributing members of their communities.
We are so proud of both of them and thank them for coming in to be a part of our video series.
