In Boston, efforts to expand access to youth sports are being driven not just by policy, but by locals who grew up in the system themselves.
At the center of that work are José Massó, the city’s Chief of Human Services, and Tyrik Wilson, Youth Sports Initiative Manager and the leader of Let’s Play Boston, a citywide initiative designed to make youth sports more accessible and equitable. Together, they are helping to shape how young people across Boston experience sports with a focus on expanding opportunity.
