Bright Minds

The Bright Minds program is for children ages 5–14. This includes engaging and safe Out of School-Time (OST) and summer programming at East Boston Social Centers. Our OST offers guardians an affordable and trusted option for the bright minds of East Boston to learn, develop and have fun year-round.
