Fly High is Cytel’s award winning program, which integrates health and education in its mission to support families using educational opportunities to escape the poverty trap. Cytel believes that making the most of educational opportunities means supporting students and families both in schools and outside. In addition to providing laboratory equipment to teachers and taking students on field trips to local museums, Fly High has sponsored a cancer detection camp for parents and organized counseling sessions for students and teachers.
As Helen Keller rightly said, “There is no better way to thank God for your sight than by giving a helping hand to someone in the dark.” In efforts to build empathy and raise awareness, the National Opthamology Institute sponsors The Vision Marathon, an annual set of blindfolded buddy runs to raise money for blindness. Cytel gathered a team of 55 to run this year’s Vision Marathon. In addition, Cytel encourages employee eye donations through its Fly High program and other initiatives.
Cytel’s educational vision promotes engaging program activities that bring computer science and technological education to a wider array of students. In a 21ST century economy, children not given the chance to learn coding at a young age, will face automatic disadvantages in the work place and find it difficult to leverage technology for innovative problem-solving. Cytel aims to counter unequal access to technological and computer science education by encouraging its work force to volunteer in local schools.
For nearly two decades, Cytel has sent a team to participate in Boston’s annual Walk for Hunger. In a state whose affluence contributes to improved healthcare and educational opportunities for all, it is sometimes easy to forget that there are even more basic needs like food, that are unavailable to nearly 60,000 Mass Bay children. Through its participation in the annual walk, Cytel aims to support a foundational need that can then help children concentrate in classrooms, and flourish in our cities.
