Welcome to College Bound Dorchester!
College Bound Dorchester, formerly known as Federated Dorchester Neighborhood Houses, has been serving the community of Dorchester since 1965. Although the organization’s name has changed its commitment to supporting positive change in Dorchester remains resolute.
Don't assume the worst
January 31, 2010 Yvonne Abraham of the Boston Globe writes about College Bound Dorchester, "If you give kids the expectation of going to college, the thinking goes, you do much more than offer them a chance at upward mobility. You also give them - and their neighbors - realistic alternatives to drugs, gangs, and teen motherhood. Get enough kids to see themselves as college material and you transform a whole neighborhood."
