"Thank you to Ben & Jerry's at Seaport Village for its continued partnership," said Afira DeVries, CEO and president of Monarch School.

"As the only school in the nation that serves exclusively unhoused youth and their families, we depend on our community to advance our mission. However, we are only as effective as we are supported," DeVries added. "As the unhoused population nationwide grows, so has a demand for our critical services, and with generous support of the community, we are scaling up our operations to bring the Monarch Model to other schools and organizations to help break the cycle of homelessness."
