The Waltham Partnership for Youth (WPY) is committed to building a community of belonging and opportunity for all Waltham youth. Their mission is to address systemic inequities by collaborating with youth, families, and partner organizations. WPY envisions a world where young people have the resources, skills, and opportunities to fully participate in their communities and create their own paths to success and well-being.

The core values of WPY include belonging, collaboration, compassion, courageous honesty, and being youth-centered. They prioritize making all young people feel welcomed, connected, accepted, and valued. By building relationships with colleagues, students, families, and community partners, WPY strives to bring about community-level change.

They approach all interactions with sensitivity and a commitment to minimizing harm. WPY is grateful to their generous donors, including the Cummings Foundation and AstraZeneca, who have provided support for their career exploration and training efforts. Through programs like their High School Summer Internship Program, Interpretation and Translation Apprenticeship Program, and Social Justice in Education Program, WPY is empowering Waltham youth.
