BOSTON (AP) - Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey will join middle school students for a summit marking the culmination of a 12-week after-school program focused on preventing gun violence.
More than 100 students from six Boston middle schools participated in the “Got Game” Youth Anti-Violence Partnership. The curriculum incorporated writing, civic engagement and basketball to reinforce classroom learning and deter students from engaging in violent behavior.
Healey’s office provided $45,000 in grant money to start the program.
