During the Covid-19 pandemic, Quest pivoted from organizing national and international service trips for our high school teams to creating Social Justice Clubs and action projects with local change makers in Boston. This alternative programming resulted in new opportunities for our Quest students to build relevant local civic engagement in which they feel seen, heard, valued, and empowered in their communities.
Fenway High’s Police Reform project
“Know your Rights when stopped by police”
PSA video announcement created by Fenway High’s Social Justice Club, based on personal experiences and information learned from ACLU and guest speakers from DA’s office and Roxbury Public Defender’s Office. Shared with Fenway students on social media
English High’s Food Insecurity project
Toiletries Drive, organized and executed by English High’s Social Justice Club, within the EHS school and Jamaica Plain community. All Toiletries were donated to the Woods-Mullen Women’s Shelter.

“ I was able to vote in the 2020 presidential election because during the Quest webinar with the MA. Voter Table organization, I learned how to register to vote. I was able to help my friends do it too.”
– Sebby Canales
“Knowing all this new information about my rights is interesting. I am now more aware of my actions and attitude when I am around the police.”
– Ashanti
“I feel proud that we helped women and children in our community. Little things can change someone’s life.”
