A Note from Michael and Jim

President & CEO and Board Chair

Friends,

As we reflect on the past year, we are filled with awe and gratitude for the remarkable progress we’ve achieved together. It’s been a year defined by advancements in program quality, organizational structure, and culture. Equally, we are energized by our strategic planning work that looks towards the future and provides a vision and road map through 2027.

We maintained our commitment to providing high-quality and impactful services to the people and families who turn to RFK Community Alliance for services and support. We continued to invest in current programs, while building new ones to serve more people who need our expertise and compassionate care.

We welcomed or elevated several executive leaders who are now well-established in their roles. Cindy Wing, our Chief Operating Officer, led us in enhancing our leadership structure and organization-wide communications through developing a cohesive and informed Senior Operations Team who meet regularly to discuss important topics impacting programming and agency culture.

Whether it was at our successful Embracing the Legacy celebration, our Black History Month gathering, the Doctor Franklin Perkins School’s Recognition Day, or at many different holiday celebrations across our divisions, we enjoyed gathering and celebrating with so many of you this year.

Lastly, we are energized to be publicly sharing our strategic planning work and would welcome your thoughts and feedback. But most of all, we are grateful to our incredible community for your support and advocacy for our work.

With gratitude,

Michael W. Ames, PhD (he/him), President and CEO
Jim Geraghty
(he/him), Board Chair

We re-opened the Clinton, MA Adult Services craft shop, The Perk, a vocational opportunity for our adults and an engagement opportunity for the local community and families.

Our Center for Behavioral Health (CBH) clinicians continued to support children, youth, adults, and families on site at CBH in Lancaster, as well as during school hours at Clinton Elementary, Middle, and High Schools, and Nashoba Regional High School.

Achievement in Motion Mentoring (AIM) has served 14 young adults since its inception in 2022, working to create a stable future and help them graduate from high school or its equivalency. Several workshops were held for youth that included financial literacy education, healthy relationships, and self-care. Many youth earned financial incentives for reaching goals, including engaging with program activities, developing health goals, gaining employment, and graduating high school.

COASA (Children of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse)
had a wonderful year of programming, bringing together children and families affected by substance abuse and alcoholism through events like ice skating, an educational film series, a cookout, and a week of Camp COASA.

The Detention Diversion Advocacy Program (DDAP) served 84 youth, 31% more than last year. Program participants received mentoring and legal assistance, and support in accessing services like mental health treatment, employment, education, financial literacy, and housing. Importantly, at 90-days post-discharge, 100% of graduates had no new delinquency charges. DDAP Suffolk County also held their first annual resource fair in April of 2023 at the Franklin Park Zoo.

Legacy Mentoring (Legacy)
, already serving Hampden County, added a mentor to serve Berkshire County this year as a result of new funding. The program served 50 youth experiencing or are at-risk of becoming commercially sexually exploited, an 11 % increase from last year. In addition to engaging widely in the community, the Legacy team presented on a panel with Baystate Advocacy Center in recognition of Human Trafficking month in January of 2024 as part of their commitment to bring increased education and awareness of CSEC along with enhancing provider connections. In 2024, Legacy Mentoring is celebrating it’s 5th year of operations.

Rein in a Dream Therapeutic Horsemanship Program (RIAD) provided services to 119 people, 73 of whom were enrolled in RFK Community Alliance programs and 46 of whom were from the community. Services included equine- and animal-assisted therapy, job-skills development, and clinical services. In 2024, RIAD is celebrating it’s 35th year of operations.

The Young Adult Supported Living Program (YASL)
has served 11 adults since its inception in 2022, supporting young adults transitioning out of foster care to live independently in both Western and Central Massachusetts. In addition to providing cost-free housing, we offer case management, life-skills training, and experiential learning in conjunction with the MA Department of Children and Families to ensure stable futures. We continue to see a high number of referrals for this relatively new program. This year, we hosted holiday events, clinical workshops, team building events, and art presentations to promote community and build teamwork.

The RFK National Resource Center for Juvenile Justice (NRC), in our 10th year, shared several new publications and continued to highlight important topics on our podcast. Interest in our Probation and Youth Justice System Review and Dual Status Youth Reform initiatives, trainings, and specialized work remains high.
