2 Cape & Islands Organizations Receive Grant Money


Attorney General Maura Healey’s office has announced that two organizations on Cape Cod and the Islands are among 70 organizations receiving grant money to fund summer jobs for local youths with a focus on health and well-being.

The Cape Cod YMCA in Barnstable and the Martha’s Vineyard Boys & Girls Club will receive a portion of the grant money that will be used to fund nearly 200 summer jobs.

The Healthy Summer Youth Jobs Grant Program, now in its third year, is funded with $300,000 in settlement money from the AG’s Office. The grant funding allows teens to hold jobs that include working in a community health center, counseling at a summer camp about nutrition, leading cooking classes, and working at a famer’s market.
