They both captured the attention of the 21 Opportunity Youth cities at recent national conferences, when they outlined their life course framework approach to thinking about the school-to-prison pipeline. The BPS and the Boston Opportunity Youth team are bringing them to Boston to help Superintendent Chang and the community frame the conversation about future work on the issue.

The KickBack
Hosted by Kickback Boston
Me, you & Hennessy you wanna chill? On Wednesday, June 22nd #teamHennessy is sponsoring our 4th installment of the #KickBackBoston from 8p-9p. Come out for a few drinks and trill vibes. We got @DJRealPFN on the wheels.
The KickBack was founded by two individuals raised in Boston with cultivating visionary creative passion. They wanted something in their city that targeted their vibe and the people like them.
“The city lacks that classy meets urban music vibe and the KickBack is its medium.” Quoted by one of the founders.
Their mission is to bring peers together who despise the routine nightclubs with seratos filled with Top-40 reruns and long lines and the overzealous “vip” regulars.
They wanted a night in Boston to relax, listen to some “dum dope” — Cousin Stizz type tunes without the hassle or chaos of a club.
A place to eat, socialize, have a few henny straights and vibe out with a melting pot of trill millennials. The KickBack is the stomping ground for the young local professional crowd.
If this sounds like what you’ve been waiting for please come and kick back with us! Events will be held a on Wednesday night.
When: 8:00PM
Where: UMBRIA ristorante ultra lounge nightclub | 295 Franklin St, Boston, 02110
