Julie's was founded in 1974 by two educators, Sister Jean Sullivan, SND and Sister Louise Kearns, SND, who had been working closely with struggling, female-headed families living in crisis at the margins of society. Julie'A?s began as two independent organizations: Julie's Children's House and the Adult Learning Program which merged in 1980. Julie's Children's House provided care and educational services to low-income, pre-school age children and their parents who lived in South Boston's D Street Public Housing Project. The Adult Learning Program provided adult education and support to poor, female head-of-households in the same community. In 2004, Julie's moved into our own facility on Dorchester Street in South Boston and became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a Board of Directors. We now house all of our services in a building owned by the George Robert White Fund, a trust managed by the City of Boston. Julie's currently provides over 20 different Adult and Children's Services with a comprehensive and holistic approach, to approximately 200 disadvantaged, low-income young mothers and their children (current participants and alumnae) from diverse ethnic and racial communities around Greater Boston. These services include: Life Skills Classes - parenting skills, health and wellness, home management, support groups, relationships and family literacy. Child Development -A? fully certified Montessori preschool, licensed infant and toddler child development centers, and early intervention for infants and toddlers by certified specialists. Advocacy/Emergency Assistance -A? housing, legal, health and school advocacy, food and emergency assistance, individual counseling and transportation. Education Classes - adult basic education (ABE,) GED test preparation, academic tutoring and technology literacy. Next Steps - career counseling and college preparation, leadership capacity building, job preparation, post-employment support and alumnae outreach. Our Mission: Julie's is a community based family support and education program that is committed to the development of strong, stable, healthy family functioning. Julie's provides services that enable poor, at-risk mothers and their children to transform their lives and become healthy, successful and economically self-sufficient members of their communities.
