In the summer of 2004, the youth of Spontaneous were charged with
the task of choosing an issue in their community and designing a
Project of Change that would address this issue. The teens chose
to focus on youth violence, and the lack of programming for teens
in their community. In response, they created their own youth program
at Spontaneous Celebrations called Beantown Society.
The vision of Beantown Society is to unite youth in Boston across
race, class, culture, and neighborhood to end youth violence. We
believe in changing youth's oppression, neglect-ion, rejection,
and depression into youth power. We work towards this vision by
offering a youth run after school program as well as workshops,
projects and events based on youth interests. We provide a space
for youth to express themselves, receive one-on-one support, and
become leaders in their community.

La Piñata is a folkloric performance group that has been
meeting every Saturday afternoon at our center since our doors opened.
This Latin American Family Cultural Network involves young people
ages 7-17 in learning songs, dances, and traditions from Latin American
cultures. During school vacations, they work with our teens to form
a Brazilian Samba Band, which performs annually at First
Night and our major festivals.
Schedule: Saturdays, 9:30-10:30 am (Toddlers, children & parents)
