OUR MISSION · STARTED IN NEWTON
Good things should
be easier to find.
A child should not miss a program because their family never knew it existed. We are building a clearer view of the opportunities already in each community.

OUR FIRST GUIDE
It started in Newton.
YouthBy began with Newton Youth Sports: local sports, camps, and enrichment programs, gathered in one place.
Now we’re bringing that same approach to more interests and more towns.
Local programs. Real communities.
WHAT WE’RE BUILDING TOWARD
A useful guide earns its place.
Know what you’re choosing.
Age and grade requirements, published costs, venues and registration information should be easy to compare. When something is missing, we say so.
Make the help visible.
A scholarship or fee waiver is only useful if a family can find it. Financial assistance belongs alongside the program details, with a clear route to the provider.
Keep getting the local details right.
Our ambition is a guide families can rely on wherever they live. We’re starting in Massachusetts and building town by town, with sources and community corrections behind the work.
The next good thing could be close to home.
Start with an interest. Compare the details. Keep a few possibilities.
