Dear Friends If you are part of the Cambridge Community Foundation family you know that Rick Harriman stepped down as board chair after 11 years We continue to draw inspiration from his conviction that we must be a community foundation for all the people of Cambridge So we could not write this letter without thanking Rick for his leadership and we re grateful he s just a phone call away In this annual report we want to lift up the voices of our youth the people who will one day inherit the new Cambridge They often see inconvenient truths and have insights that can only come from the young In some cases they are already launching innovative solutions to the problems that they feel most deeply In this way they inspire us to discover and support social innovation wherever it exists whether in our universities our entrepreneurial culture or in 10 year old Aviana Dupee and other young people you will read about in this report At our core we aspire to champion everyone who imagines a just and equitable city where we can all thrive We fund grassroots leaders who use their lived experience to find solutions to local problems We invest in innovative programs like Cambridge RISE which changes the lives of single parents and grandparents who are caring for children and struggling with everyday expenses We form partnerships with nonprofits civic leaders universities and donors to help good ideas take root We exist to protect the qualities that make Cambridge the city you love And of course we exist to create a better city for the young people who speak so eloquently on the following pages Geeta Pradhan President Phil Johnson Chair Phil Johnson and Geeta Pradhan at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School Video Donate 3 Pemberton Street basketball courts North Cambridge 3

Cambridge has a lot of nice parks and stuff and good food My favorite things about living in Cambridge are first of all the food the history and the colleges like Harvard and MIT NEEV HART 9 When I grow up I want to live here and have a family here it s a very very very nice city People like it here and it s filled with culture MISTY LAINEZ 9 4 Put yourself in the shoes of Cambridge s young people and see the city through their eyes 5

The city is building itself up and it s great to welcome new people but not at the expense of the families who currently live here SHAHRIA BASIRIA 15 Did you know I see Cambridge being transformed into Boston like Newbury Street with all these unaffordable apartments and condos I know people who have been driven out because they couldn t afford their rent anymore ABBY HABTEHANS 15 Did you know 6 Lynch Family Skate Park East Cambridge 7

There are immigrant families here but not many because the housing is so expensive Even my teachers don t live here Hearing from both my parents and my teachers that it s too expensive here is really discouraging RAFA SAEED 16 Did you know When I was younger I really looked up to adults who were trying to keep Cambridge how I remembered it as a kid I didn t feel like there was as much of a divide in Cambridge But now I see the city is changing so much and it s leaving people behind I think there are amazing opportunities here but because of them we can be blinded and not see the issues affecting our community All these things we think are resolved like racism and segregation are not being addressed CLARA ENGLES 14 I like living in Cambridge It s the environment sort of everything s available there are a lot of places to go and you can walk or take public transportation anywhere Did you know KABIR SHOTLAND 16 We spoke to the young people in our city and heard about how much they love Cambridge the parks hanging out with their friends great food and restaurants cool murals and art But they also see the challenges of our changing city 8 9

Because housing costs are going up it s causing either more people to be on the street or people who are already on the street and are trying to get off it can t do it because it s too expensive It feels good to help people Just seeing their reaction to getting food or having a conversation It s like their faces light up LIAM HANNON 14 Founder of Liam s Lunches of Love a nonprofit lunch program in Central Square for people experiencing homelessness Language justice is really important to me My parents are immigrants and they re not really involved in the school stuff and aren t really aware of all the things that are going on It s something the school could work on MOHAMMAD JIHAD 15 Audio 10 11

Growing up in Cambridge has really given me such an intellectual brain and it can be too much It feels like everyone has to speak and think that way but it actually excludes so many people The jargon leaves them out I d like us to move away from that I d like it to feel more human To get into AP classes you really have to fight for yourself I did and so did my friends of color but when you hear something like Are you sure you want to do this from an adult at school it feels undermining KAYLA BERNARD 18 Audio Did you know 12 Memorial Drive East Cambridge 13

Stories of Cambridge youth taking action Art is a catalyst for change Angelina Santiago 16 grew up near Central Square and likes to stay close to home for the arts shops and parks and her friends and school In third grade her dream was to become a softball player at Harvard and she worked on getting big grades to get there but then everything changed with the pandemic With more time to herself she discovered new passions art photography and fashion Angelina is enrolled in the Youth Media Program of Cambridge Community 14 Graffiti Alley Central Square Television one of our nonprofit partners and this fall her short film Model Me premiered in MIT s Open Space Programming She draws inspiration from the city and the neighborhoods around her I love Danehy Park she says When I take photos there I know exactly what to do Once there was a guy sitting on a fence singing and he looked so in place at the moment It was like he and I were meant to be there We re a little city of art We even have a place called Graffiti Alley where we can legally tag things It s so cool ANGELINA SANTIAGO 16 15
