MULTICULTURAL YOUTH TOUR OF WHATS NOW (MYTOWN)

MYTOWN (Multicultural Youth Tour Of What's Now) is a Boston based non-profit organization whose mission is to use local history to empower young people and build appreciation of urban neighborhoods. MYTOWN believes that young people and communities everywhere can realize the power local history has in increasing youth activism and decreasing the stereotypes that stigmatize urban neighborhoods. Since 1995, MYTOWN has trained and employed over 200 low and moderate-income Boston youth who have created historical walking tours and presentations for more than 7,000 Boston residents and visitors.
