About SquashBusters
SquashBusters is a 29-year-old sports-based youth development program that uses a combination of squash, fitness, academic support and enrichment, community service, and mentoring to improve the lives of youth in Boston, Lawrence, and Providence. SquashBusters’ mission is to challenge and nurture youth in these cities – as students, athletes, and citizens – so that they can recognize and fulfill their greatest potential in life. SquashBusters currently serves 300 middle school and high school students who practice three days a week throughout the school year and participate in weekend practices, tournaments, and summer opportunities. After high school graduation, students join the Post-Secondary Success Program, and a dedicated staff team supports them in their chosen post-secondary path, providing career development, internship placement, and employment opportunities. SquashBusters currently serves 180 post-secondary students, and with our first class of Providence post-secondary students, the program is growing. In Boston, programming occurs at the Badger-Rosen SquashBusters Center located on Northeastern University’s campus. In Providence, we work and play out of the Gorgi SquashBusters Center on the campus of Moses Brown School. In Lawrence, we recently opened our state-of-the-art facility, the New Balance Foundation SquashBusters Center, in partnership with the city. Our core values are: Love, Honesty, Attention, Teamwork, and High Standards. Do these match yours?
