Summary of the GATE Program:

GATE (Generations Advancing Together through Education) provides services to Boston parents who have been historically unable to participate in training programs due to lack of child care. GATE assists individuals by funding the total cost of the training program of their choice while also connecting them with childcare resources for the duration of the training program and 90 days post graduation. Program participants can participate in trainings that revolve around the banking, finance, nursing, pharmacy or office administration fields.
