From streets to skis: YES Kids Educating Boston YouthThrough Outdoor Recreation

For some kids growing up in Boston, the idea of outdoor sports, skiing in the mountains, or kayaking down a river doesn’t cross their mind. Many inner-city kids don’t have access to transportation outside of city limits, so reaching the mountains in New Hampshire or taking bikes outside Boston are activities these youth populations may never experience.   Thanks to YES Kids, a non-profit organization located in Back Bay; youth are able to explore a wide range of outdoor activities that one can only dream of.
