Boston Harbor Island Alliance has established the Access Initiative which introduces and engages urban youth and families in the Boston Harbor Islands national park area. Diverse programming with a wide range of topics is provided to make sure all you visitors connect to the islands and therefore become future users and stewards of the park.

Your contribution to the Access Initiative will be used to support Boston Harbor Island Alliance, a nonprofit partner of the Boston Harbor Islands national park area. All proceeds will support year-round youth programming that provides free outdoor recreational and educational opportunities, community involvement activities, safe space for unstructured play and exploration, and school and summertime employment. All contributions are 100% tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

"For more than a decade, Boston Harbor Island Alliance has helped bring Boston's youth to the harbor islands for fun and education. I am proud to support the creation of the Access Initiative to continue this great work and serve even more of our City's youth. This program will deliver the promise of these transformed relics into majestic, outdoor classrooms and playgrounds for all to enjoy."
