INVEST IN UTEC TODAY

Members of UTEC arrived at Gillette Stadium expecting to simply give a presentation to the Patriots about their mission to nurture the ambition of our most disconnected young people to trade violence and poverty for social and economic success. Instead, they were surprised with a $75,000 grant from the Patriots Social Justice Fund.

[UTEC is] turning gang members into productive citizens through programs like their culinary institute. In talking about their success, their enthusiasm to do more is contagious. Our problem is not that no one has figured out what works. Just the opposite.

- Governor Charlie Baker in his inaugural address, 2015

The most important thing I've learned at UTEC is to keep chipping away. Keep trying no matter how hard life gets, because there's always going to be that struggle.

"52% of 18-24 year-olds get re-arraigned within one year and 76% within 3 years. That’s already three out four young adults who won’t qualify under the current expungement law. We are here today because we are those three."

-Akeem, Jefferson, and Money from Teens Leading The Way testifying at the State House today

Thanks so much to our sponsors and cosponsors like Rep Marjorie Decker , Senator Cindy Creem, Rep Kay Khan, Rep Carolyn Dykema, Rep Andy X. Vargas, and to the Judiciary Chairs State Representative Claire Cronin, and Senator Jamie Eldridge for your support.
