IBA’s Teen Empowerment Project
Boston Public Schools letter (1992)
“These services will work to address the underlying factors that lead youth to substance abuse and dropping out of school.”
This letter was written in support of IBA’s “Teen Empowerment Project,” which began in 1990. The primary goal of the project was to reduce the drop-out rate of Hispanic students through positive, culturally sensitive, and participatory academic and social programs. The project was implemented in the Edwards Middle School and Charlestown High School. From the Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción records.

I _.,, ,_, ,. ·· ·-··· ·.. ·- OFACE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT January 16, 1992 To Whom It May Concern: The Boston School Department has worked with Inquilinos Boricuas en Accion (IBA) for several years, and we have a great deal of respect for the work IBA has done to reduce absenteeism and the drop-out rate of Latino youth. IBA has done effective work, and they have worked well within the School Department setting. We are eager to continue our working relationship with IBA, and we are particularly excited about the prospect of IBA creating a comprehensive program such as the one outlined in this proposal. The Villa Victoria Teen Empowerment Project, which targets high-risk youth, is exciting because not only will it provide student with services within the schools, but it will also connect those services with similar supportive services within the community. These services will work to address the underlying factors that lead youth to substance abuse and dropping out of school. We like the fact that this program will bring students into well-planned group experiences where the at-risk students will interact on an equal level with students who are doing well, and who can have a positive influence on the behavior of the at-risk students. In addition, this project will bring valuable learning experiences into the school environment for our students. IBA will help students by developing a community-service component in relationship with the schools in an effort to overcome the problems they experience. We support this project, and we will work with IBA in any way we can to insure that the project is a success. Sincerely, ,;i • r~~ ;/:h·/,~~ ~~is Harrison-Jones, Ed.D.
