About Us

Story

The youth of today are some of the most engaging, knowledgeable, and creative people in our city, yet they face many unique challenges on the road to success. Motivated by their passion and curiosity, we dreamt of creating a community that would help kids and teens build the confidence and life skills they need for a bright future. So we did.

Story

Leadership

South Shore Youth Organization is governed by a Board of Directors who mentor, lead, and guide our executive team. They ensure that our charitable events are possible and step in when needed to ensure the smooth running of the organization.

Leadership

Our Alumni

Our Alumni are incredibly important to us! It was our Alumni that paved the way for all SSYO members, and that helped accomplish us some great things!

Our Alumni have no designated responsibility to the program but continue to assist us because they have been positively affected by the program in some way. Alumni sometimes assist as tutors, coaches, volunteers, mentors, returning as Board of Directors’ Members, and helping with the general organization of events.

We want to hear from each and every person that was once a part of SSYO/South Shore Select! We would love to connect with you, see what you’re up to, hear about your personal accomplishments, and update you on what we are currently doing (and, if you’d like, how YOU can help out!)
