We are thrilled to announce that HarborOne Bank has signed on as a $5,000 sponsor of the South Boston Street Festival.

Courtney and Chelsea Mulligan and Vi Thai are spending this summer taking care of the plant beds and picking up trash along Broadway, planting flowers and caring for gardens, and cleaning up the area for the Farmers Market. But this is way more than just a summer job for these Youth Ambassadors.

It’s preparation for their futures: in education, in confidence, in the workforce, and in their communities.

Courtney, Chelsea, and Vi are part of South Boston Neighborhood Development Corporation’s longtime summer program and are under the tutelage of a former Youth Ambassador, Noah White, who is in his second year overseeing the program.
