DEAR CSR FRIENDS,
Living and working in Roxbury and Dorchester, I witness our community’s diversity, resilience, beauty, and excellence every day. I’m inspired by people on the move—focused, determined, and committed to bettering their lives and our community. For more than 50 years, Children’s Services of Roxbury (CSR) embodied this spirit, quietly serving over 150,000 individuals. We made a profound impact, yet remained largely unknown beyond our community.
In 2021, we took a bold leap by purchasing a 57,000-square-foot building in the heart of Roxbury. Our vision: transform it into a vibrant community hub where new programs launch, existing ones thrive, and every neighbor feels welcomed.
To make this vision a reality, we needed partnerships, endorsements, and funding. In 2023, we focused on raising our visibility, connecting with elected officials, foundations, donors, and the media. The response has been incredible— securing millions in public and private funding, widespread media coverage, and public recognition.
Our journey is far from over, but our momentum is unstoppable. We are amplifying our mission as we disrupt inequities and transform lives. Join us in this vital and just pursuit, one that demands each of us to commit, yet it transcends us all.

Drop a Beat for Behavioral Health
In a lyrical team building exercise, “Reaching Back to Look Forward,” Behavioral Health staff wrote and recorded songs to capture the essence of the work they do and their passion for the job. The initiative was designed to strengthen intradepartmental morale after transitioning back to work in the office post-pandemic.

Our Behavioral Health Department is MassHealth’s only Black-specialized children’s behavioral health provider, offering culturally congruent care to children and families in schools, at their homes, and in community settings. We focus on prevention and treatment of children facing behavioral health struggles due to trauma, anxiety, and other concerns. Our Behavioral Health clinicians and staff provide support to parents, and often uncover urgent family crises that are fueling children’s behavioral health challenges, such as housing instability, job loss, and economic insecurity.

Early Education
Growing with CSR
Now the Director of CSR’s Early Care & Education Center, Tennelle Smith first joined CSR as a teenage participant in its Youth, Purpose, and Partnership (YPP) program.
Over the years, Tennelle joined CSR full-time and advanced in her career, most notably working within the Behavioral Health Department.
Tennelle is now a masters-level clinician with expertise in early childhood trauma, which she applies in her new role as the childcare Center Director. She created CSR’s pre-K socialemotional curriculum for her graduate clinical project and teaches social-emotional workshops that provide the Center’s educators with classroom strategies to support children with behavioral health needs.
Our early education programs are 100% subsidized and provide children (ages 0-5) with access to safe, high-quality education in our Early Care & Education Center and family-based childcare services in Greater Roxbury and Worcester.
Early Care & Education Center
Early Education Services
Early Care & Education Center
Our Early Care & Education Center builds the literacy skills of children through trauma-focused care. Using the Creative Curriculum, a researched-based curriculum that aligns with state early learning guidelines, we provide developmentally appropriate lessons that are proven to increase kindergarten readiness and advance academic and socialemotional development.
Family-Based Childcare

Family-Based Childcare
We recruit and train Black and Latina women to operate small businesses from their homes through family-based childcare. CSR supports education and training, licensure, and administrative needs for more than 80 women in Greater Roxbury and Worcester, who in turn provide early education and care for over 600 children of income eligible, voucher, homeless, and teen parent households.
Boston Public Schools Universal Pre-K
CSR launched a Universal Pre-K (UPK) classroom in partnership with Boston Public Schools. The UPK classroom combines CSR’s trauma-informed expertise with Boston Public Schools curriculum and educator training to teach children in our childcare center. We plan to open 3 additional UPK classrooms in the coming years.

Meaningful Meals for Migrant Families
In 2023, as Massachusetts’ emergency shelter system became overburdened by an influx of migrants and an ongoing housing affordability crisis, CSR’s shelter services expanded to managing two hotel shelters in Dedham and Norwood for 50 new migrant families, most of whom are Haitian.
This new level of care for homeless children and families required culturally competent services to support a population who has traveled 2,000+ miles, witnessing and enduring unimaginable traumas along their journey to seek refuge in a foreign land. This high quality of mindfulness led CSR’s housing team to offer a sense of familiarity in an unfamiliar land, which resulted in a contract with Gourmet Kreyol to provide culturally appropriate meals for the children and families in its Dedham hotel shelter.
Founded and owned by Chef Nathalie Lecorps, Gourmet Kreyol opened Boston’s first Haitian food truck in 2021. The catering business now operates out of CommonWealth Kitchen to create native Haitian meals for the migrant families CSR serves, and at times outsources meals from other community restaurants to accommodate the families from Latin American countries who also reside in the Dedham hotel shelter.
CSR’s Housing & Stabilization staff took part in a self-care training led by the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute. They used miniature figures in a tray of sand to create scenes as a healing technique of expressing the feelings and emotions they may not have words to describe.
175K+ meals
Provided to the migrant families in hotel shelter by Gourmet Kreyol since July 2023
In addition to providing cultural meals, Chef Nathalie supports the families’ adjustment to life in the U.S. She has interviewed 30 individuals from the Dedham shelter to hire as staff at Gourmet Kreyol, hosted holiday events, and continues to provide informal mentorship to support with their social competence and overall life skills.
CSR’s partnership with Gourmet Kreyol provides culturally recognizable experiences for migrant families while in shelter, and offers a sense of certitude as they anticipate the outcome of their future.
Wendy Cyprien, MPA, Immigration Specialist at L’Union Immigration Services provides pro bono legal consultation for the migrant families CSR serves, helping many of them with obtaining Temporary Protective Status and translating official records.

HIGHLIGHTS

Felicia immigrated from the Dominican Republic with her biological mother after experiencing a traumatic event that caused her to lose both of her arms. Her mother later died in 2022.

With the support of her foster parents, she has since learned to speak English, secured legal residency in the U.S., and in 2023 she graduated from high school and secured employment.

FINANCIALS
In 2021, CSR acquired our 57,000 square foot headquarters which stretches a full city block in Roxbury. A renewal and transformation of CSR’s headquarters will allow CSR to scale; growing our programs by 25% and serving an additional 1,500 children and parents annually within three years after the building is complete. This growth will also add nearly 200 career-oriented jobs to the local economy.
Midway through our fiscal year 2023, CSR launched a capital campaign to transform our Roxbury headquarters into the “Center for Family Well-being.”
By the fiscal year’s end, CSR raised $4M toward our $19M goal for public and private capital funds needed to complete the project.
Our program expansion and new building will impact the social and economic strength and overall health of the communities we serve, empowering families and young adults on their journey from poverty to stability to wealthbuilding.
