Boston Mayor Martin Walsh and Boston Police Commissioner William Gross announced Tuesday the recipients of the Boston Police Department’s $500,000 Youth Development Fund.
There are 20 organizations that will each receive $25,000 to help give Boston’s young people the opportunities to be successful, according to a press release from Walsh’s office. The YDF’s funding for this year is double the total of last year.
Walsh said in the release that education, development programs and safe environments help give young people the opportunities they need.
