The collection documents the efforts of Sociedad Latina to strengthen, educate, and empower youth of all ethnicities living in the Mission Hill, Roxbury, Dorchester, and Jamaica Plain neighborhoods of Boston. Records date from 1968-2007 and document topics such as AIDS awareness and prevention, substance abuse prevention and treatment, and domestic violence prevention, pregnancy prevention, peer leader training, and tobacco use and its effects. The records specifically document programs that were designed to foster self-esteem in young men and young women (Boxes 2-3, 4, 5-7, 10, and 14) to develop leadership skills (Boxes 4, 5-8, and 9), and to explore careers in the health professions (Boxes 3-5, and 9). Also documented are programs focused on the awareness and prevention of AIDS, substance abuse, teen pregnancy; smoking prevention (Boxes 3-5, and 9); and job skills training (4, 5-8, and 9-10). Records include proposals, grants and contracts, correspondence, program descriptions, meeting minutes, and strategic and progress reports. The collection contains no annual reports. |
