🤝 This summer, Breaktime had the pleasure of working closely with the Junior Fellows at Arnold Worldwide! This incredible team of creatives dove into learning more about young adult homelessness and the Breaktime program to support us in reaching a wider audience. We are in awe of their innovative and thoughtful work throughout the past few months and are grateful they spent the last few hours of their internship celebrating in the Breaktime space! 💙 • • • • #breaktimeboston #nonprofit #empowerment #homelessness #advocacy #community #partnerships

🏥 💉 People experiencing homelessness face a higher risk of vaccine-preventable diseases due to healthcare access barriers. Chronic health conditions among youth experiencing homelessness can be managed or prevented with proper vaccination, and mobile health clinics have been instrumental in increasing vaccination rates. Breaktime is committed to bridging this gap, ensuring every young person receives the healthcare they need. 🩺 • • • #breaktimeboston #nonprofit #immunization #healthcareforall #endhomelessness #youthempowerment #advocacy #equity #healthequity #immunization

📚📝 Education is a lifeline, but for youth experiencing homelessness, it’s often out of reach. Unstable housing can affect students' ability to learn effectively and actively engage in school, which is crucial for better educational outcomes. At Breaktime, we believe in supporting every young person’s right to learn. Join us throughout the month as we raise awareness about this issue and provide solutions that create opportunities for all. 🌟 • • • • #breaktimeboston #nonprofit #empowerment #homelessness #youngadults #advocacy #community #employment #graduation #education #connection #opportunities

Mountaintop International is a nonprofit that works toward a future where every community can solve its own problems to build a just, loving, and peaceful world for all. The organization hosts a fellowship every year and receives thousands of applicants from across the globe. 13 promising leaders were chosen for the 2024 fellowship and are being hosted in the United States for two weeks for leadership development and educational opportunities with the intent of them returning to their home communities to contribute to systems change in lower-income places around the world. We are grateful that we had the opportunity to meet with them and share more about Breaktime’s work to employ and empower young adults experiencing homelessness. 💙 • • • • #breaktimeboston #nonprofit #empowerment #homelessness #advocacy #community #housing #leadership #international #fellowship
