Paul will be the recipient of the Roger Grande Social Justice Award in recognition of Paul’s epic 8 year quest to build the Brookline Teen Center and the work he does as a BHS Social Worker every day to change the trajectory of young people’s lives, one person at a time. Paul will be presented with the award at the 2014 Brookline Youth Awards, in the main theater of the Coolidge Corner Theater on April 10 from 7-9pm. The Town of Brookline and this publication sponsor this 4th annual event.
The Roger Grande Social Justice award was first introduced at the 2012 Brookline Youth Awards. It was our belief Roger Grande’s mentoring in social justice and his daily dedication to his BHS students deserved recognition. Roger’s influence spawned many BHS social justice activities including the Brookline Literacy Partnership, Food Justice Committee, The Hunger Banquet, Intellijam, Student Action for Justice and Education and Students Against Human Trafficking.
Admission to the 4th Annual Brookline Youth Awards is free. The Brookline Emergency Food Pantry will be accepting donations at the event.
