Our Mission

More Than Words is a nonprofit social enterprise that empowers youth who are in the foster care system, court involved, homeless, or out of school to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business.

Our Business

Our youth run an inviting 501(c)3 nonprofit used bookstore featuring a wide array of titles, comfortable seating, and free wi-fi. At our in-store coffee bar, we proudly serve Starbucks coffee, espresso, tea, and other popular café drinks, as well as delicious baked treats.

What's Happening?

Dear Friends of More Than Words,

With deep gratitude for all of your support, we are proud to share our FY12 Annual report highlighting our tremendous growth and success this past year. We set out to replicate More Than Words (MTW) to prove it was not a one-timewonder in Waltham and that we had created a powerful model that could inform the field. We set out to empower more youth to move themselves to measurable outcomes in education, employment and self-efficacy.We opened our doors in the South End of Boston in September 2011 and will more than double the number of youth we serve each year through our real-world social enterprise model, which provides meaningful work, a culture of high expectations and accountability, and positive outcomes.

With gratitude,

Malli Gero, MTW Board President

Jodi Rosenbaum Tillinger, MTW Executive Director
