@TheGuild June e-news

We've had a fun start to summer at The Guild! This June, we held our annual student and adult awards ceremonies at the Westin hotel in Waltham, danced the night away at prom, and received a visit from some furry friends. We also recognized Juneteenth and Pride. Read on for more news from The Guild:

Adult residents enjoy prom event

The Guild recognizes Juneteenth

Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. It's a day to celebrate freedom, honor those who have fought for liberation, and reflect on what still needs to be done. View the post here.

We were thrilled to receive a visit from the Pets and People Foundation one Friday afternoon this month! This local organization brought therapy dogs with them to spread warmth and joy to students. Read more and view photos here.

For Babra N., completing her degree doesn't mean putting her career on hold

For Babra Nankya, Residential Assistant with Walnut House, working in human services is more than just a job - it's a chance to change lives. She's completing her undergraduate degree to further her professional development, and she recently completed her 90-hour practicum with The Guild School.

The Guild hosts in-person screening of The World Got Smaller

This month, we premiered The World Got Smaller: The Spirit of The Guild during COVID-19 for the general public at the Goodnow Library in Sudbury. "We had to make more noise as a sector to get the services we needed throughout the pandemic," commented one of our panelists. The full documentary, which recently received a Telly Award, is now available on Vimeo.
