The Greater Boston Interfaith Organization (GBIO) is a broad-based organization which works to coalesce, train, and organize the communities of Greater Boston across all religious, racial, ethnic, class and neighborhood lines for the public good. Our primary goal is to develop local leadership and organized power to fight for social justice. We strive to hold both public and private power holders accountable for their public responsibilities, as well as to initiate actions and programs of our own to solve community and economic problems.

Fourth Presbyterian sent 21 kids to Camp Wilmot this past summer, many on scholarships from Fourth Church. Most of them attended Junior Week, which had "Diving In" as its theme. Campers were encouraged to "dive in" to faith, relationships, and new activities. In addition to regular campers, Fourth Church also had one C.I.T(Counselor-in-training): Victoria Edwards. Camp Director Rob Marks was quite pleased with the Fourth Church turnout andhopes to conitnue to see plenty of our kids up at Wilmot.

Mazemakers is a small, dynamic learning community of young people entering grades two through eight. In contrast to traditional summer programs, at Mazemakers we emphasize choice, challenges, and community building. Participants choose their own courses and projects, challenging themselves and each other in cooperative problem solving and trust activities. Together, we build a flourishing community of respect, intellectual vitality, and imagination.

For over 50 years, Al-Anon (which includes Alateen for younger members) has been offering hope and help to families and friends of alcoholics. It is estimated that each alcoholic affects the lives of at least four other people... alcoholism is truly a family disease. No matter what relationship you have with an alcoholic, whether they are still drinking or not, all who have been affected by someone else’s drinking can find solutions that lead to serenity in the Al-Anon/Alateen fellowship.
