Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston Nicholas President and CEO Josh Kraft was published recently in The Boston Globe, urging individuals to get involved in their communities to create social change. His message? If you can say something, you can do something.
Josh started with BGCB nearly 30 years ago at the Edgerley Family South Boston Club where he developed a passion for working with children.
