SquashBusters serves students in Boston, Lawrence and Providence. Students usually join in middle school and stay with the program through high school and beyond. In addition to training in squash, health and wellness, we offer academic tutoring and enrichment, community service and leadership opportunities, and college and financial aid counseling.
As alumni, program graduates are supported with a number of scholarships and opportunities for career connections. They are carefully monitored throughout their post-secondary careers to ensure academic, social-emotional, and financial well-being, and connected to career development workshops and summer jobs.
