Mission Statement
The Mission of the Waltham Partnership for Youth is to enhance the quality of young lives in Waltham by identifying the needs of all Waltham youth and coordinating resources to help meet those needs. The Priority Objective for Fiscal Year 2005 was to develop collaborative agreements to support initiatives for youth. The Partnership believes that, by changing the matrix of how we do business, young lives can be enhanced while community youth service organizations are strengthened.

Vision
The Waltham Partnership for Youth, Inc. has the vision that all Waltham youth should have the opportunity to become productive citizens in the community and the workforce.
