About
Boston Refugee Youth Enrichment (BRYE) Extension builds English skills and provides a safe, validating, and intellectually stimulating space for students. The program sets itself apart from other afterschool programs by strengthening students’ ESL skills and supplementing classroom instruction with fun and innovative volunteer-designed curriculum in a small classroom environment.
