Community:
South Boston has changed from its one-time reputation of being an insular community. With miles of public beaches, parks and historical landmarks, the community has experienced a new wave of development in recent years, including construction of the new convention center and federal courthouse. While encouraged by signs of neighborhood revitalization, the community served by the South Boston Club continues to confront multiple challenges, including poverty, inadequate education, unemployment, crime and high levels of substance abuse and addiction. For the growing number of high-risk youth who live in the area, the South Boston Club is a major resource.
