Junior Bulldog Programs provide at-risk or vulnerable youth, many impacted by addiction, with a positive outlet for stress, a supportive community of peers and adults, and an introduction to physical activity as a coping skill.

These programs aim to address the adverse effects associated with substance abuse before they begin. In addition, they combine running’s stress-relieving power with mentorship in a holistic, goal-oriented culture.

Junior Bulldog programs are held in various locations including the Algonquin Heights subsidized housing authority in Plymouth, MA, Cristo Rey Boston High School in Dorchester, MA, and the Italian Home for Children in Jamaica Plain.
