Come meet the officers who are the inspiration behind Watts 2 Boston. It was through their dedication to the students of Watts that Founder, Julie Mulvey, began the foundation. Now Watts 2 Boston supports close to 100 students in Los Angeles and specifically works with 27 college students by offering financial assistance, support, love and guidance. Listen to our students tell their stories of hope and determination.

Our annual golf tournament brings officers from the Los Angeles Police Department to Boston to meet and thank our donors for their support. Watts 2 Boston also hosts a guest speaker from Los Angeles to share their story about growing up in Watts and the challenges they face growing up in the inner city. Our scholars that attend college are also present.
This amazing opportunity invites 10 juniors in high school from Watts that are part of our sister organizations to fly to Boston for their spring break. We visit 4-5 colleges over two days and then we have a day of professional development where we invite role models from the area to come and share their life stories personally and professionally. We offer advice on financial literacy, the college application process and life skills. The students go back to Los Angeles with focus, drive and hope.
