Verizon Foundation and IBM Partner to Help Youths Prepare for GED; JRI’s Boston GLASS Uses New Technology Tools

Boston – PRNewswire – It’s tough enough to be a teenager today, but for Boston teens who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, it can be traumatic. They often deal with homophobic bullying, have alarmingly high school-dropout rates, and many are homeless.
