community programs
Junior Bulldogs
The Boston Bulldogs have programs at the Italian Home for Children and Road to the Right Track
These programs provide kids who are vulnerable, many of whom have been impacted by addiction, with a positive outlet for stress, a caring community of support from both peers and adults, an introduction to wellness and physical activity as a lifestyle, and an alternative to substance use. The Junior Bulldogs program seeks to address the risks and adverse effects associated with substance use before it starts.
In addition, the program combines running’s proven power to relieve anxiety and reduce stress, the feeling of support from mentoring by coaches and other participants, the empowering experience of mentoring others, and a goal-oriented culture to provide a holistic wellness experience.
