Ashley Barosy-Alzate is a senior in high school at Boston Preparatory Charter School and preparing to graduate in June 2027. With a Haitian father and Colombian mother, she is proud of her background, and the values her family has instilled in her. She has hard to excel academically while also doing her best to help the people around her.
Ashley joined the BOLD Teens more than two years ago as a youth advocate focused on social, health and environmental justice. She was a wonderful edition to the BOLD Teens and has worked diligently to make her neighborhood a better place. She has engaged youth and families in safety and peace promotion through movie nights at the Dr. Loesch Family Park; food justice by helping to manage the Codman Square Farmers Market; and tobacco education and prevention. She strives to spread positivity and kindness to others in her community.
This year, Ashley helped lead an Anti-Displacement Youth Focus Group with the Codman Square United effort; assisted with food demonstrations at both the Codman Square Farmers Market at Codman Square Park and BOLD Outside at Dr. Loesch Family Park, and Summer Eats at the Codman Square Library.
She considers herself an independent thinker and a cautious contributor. She likes to develop her own ideas, think carefully about her decisions, and create plans that help her reach her goals. These skills allow her to stay focused when challenges arise and to contribute in meaningful ways when others need support. Helping people is important to Ashley, whether that means assisting someone in her community, supporting a friend, or being there for her family. She cares deeply about the people around her and always tries to make a positive difference.
In the future, she hopes to become a successful real estate agent. She wants a career that allows her to connect with people and help them find homes where they can feel safe, comfortable, and secure. She also hopes to use her career to help her family build stability through homeownership and find real estate that can be passed down through future generations. Her goals are driven by her dedication to her community, and her desire to create opportunities for others while building a successful future for herself. She is excited to continue learning, growing, and serving.
