Dorchester Nonprofit Aims To Help Most At-Risk, Transform Neighborhoods

College Bound Dorchester targets the people they call "the core influencers" — those young people most responsible for much of the trouble in the neighborhoods, rather than plucking out the the most promising students and putting them on a path to success outside of the neighborhood.
