Breaking Barriers to Youth Success.
About us
UTEC's mission and promise is to ignite and nurture the ambition of our most disengaged young people to trade violence and poverty for social and economic success. Founded in 1999 by youth in Lowell, UTEC now serves impact young adults living in Lowell, Lawrence, and Haverhill, MA. UTEC’s nationally recognized model begins with intensive street outreach and gang peacemaking, reaching out to our most disconnected young adults to meet them “where they are.” Each young person in our target population (ages 17-25, with a history of serious criminal and/or gang involvement) receives up to three years of intensive case management. UTEC provides paid work experience through our social enterprises within a transitional employment framework. We provide alternative education through tutoring, HiSET/GED preparation, and dual-enrollment opportunities to earn community college credits. Social justice and civic engagement are embedded in all programming, with special emphasis in our organizing and policymaking work, locally and statewide. UTEC’s three primary outcomes are: reduced criminal involvement, increased employability, and increased educational attainment. Driven by evidence-based data, the recidivism rate of UTEC-enrolled young adults averages less than 20%, compared with a statewide average above 50%.

I am thrilled to announce that I have been selected as one of Boston’s 25 Under 25 honorees by the Boston Business Journal This recognition is not just a personal achievement; it’s a testament to the journey I’ve undertaken over the past five years with my business, Minds with Purpose. As someone raised in NYC and now living in Massachusetts for just six years, this honor is both humbling and surprising. It highlights the power of community, resilience, and the incredible support I have received along the way. I invite you all to celebrate this milestone with me at our upcoming MWP Festival, taking place this Friday through Sunday. This event is a reflection of our commitment to uplifting and empowering one another, and I am excited to share this special moment with everyone who has been part of this journey. Thank you to the Boston Business Journal for this honor and to all who have supported me throughout this endeavor. Let’s continue to inspire each other and make a positive impact together! #Boston25Under25 #MindsWithPurpose #CommunityImpact #Leadership #MWPFestival

2Gen updates are some of our favorites to share 🥰 this week, our preschoolers worked on fine motor skills. They caught ice cubes with tongs, practiced tracing their names, used tweezers to pick up small toys, and explored with kids scissors and various materials to cut. Fine motor skills are a key component in helping students with writing, as well as hand eye coordination. Shoutout to our incredible 2Gen teachers for helping the next generation thrive! #2gen #preschool #learning #maddlove
