The Humanitarian & Research Club at Boston GYP is a flagship program within the GYP-Boston community, embodying our unwavering commitment to integrating academic excellence with social responsibility seamlessly. Our primary objective is to actively engage students in the humanitarian field, cultivating the next generation of compassionate and dedicated humanitarians. Through a multifaceted approach, we aim to foster the intellectual and personal growth of these young minds, guiding them toward realizing their full potential. Our arsenal of activities includes immersive research projects, enlightening seminars, and empowering youth-led events.
As proud partners of various Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Week (HNPW) initiatives, Boston GYP is gearing up for a significant presence at the upcoming Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Week 2024. Our inaugural youth humanitarian project, the “Girls4Change Initiative” stands as a testament to our dedication. With a mission to empower girls worldwide, especially in marginalized countries and areas, this project exemplifies our commitment to effecting positive change on a global scale.
Our alliance with a distinguished university professor serves as a guiding light for this club, offering invaluable mentorship and expertise. We provide the necessary training and nurture the art of crafting impactful essays that address critical issues within these realms.
Upon project completion, each student researcher is honored with a GYP Research Certificate to recognize their dedication and hard work. Furthermore, all qualified will be published in our annual E-book yearbook, aptly titled “Mosaic.”
