DSU is Duxbury’s Launchpad for Life

A place where potential takes flight.

Welcome to the Duxbury Student Union where young people find a place to belong, mentors who believe in them, and opportunities to discover who they are. Through after-school, annual events, mentoring, college and career readiness programs,they gain the confidence, character, and leadership that shape them for life.

The future is already unfolding inside the Duxbury Student Union. Every spark of curiosity, every act of kindness, every moment of confidence reveals the leaders and citizens our young people are becoming.

At DSU, kids get more than a place to go. They get a place to grow — to lead, to belong, and to be believed in. When families, businesses, and civic leaders support DSU, they’re investing in the character and promise of the next generation and strengthening the future of our town.

Learning doesn’t stop when school ends. Leadership doesn’t start with a first job. Through after-school programs, mentorship, creative arts, camps, and college and career readiness experiences, DSU helps young people build the skills that last: curiosity, compassion, confidence, and courage.

Your gift makes this possible. Together, we’re not just raising strong students — we’re nurturing caring young people who will shape the world.

DSU is Duxbury's Youth Center

The Duxbury Student Union is a registered nonprofit organization in Duxbury, Massachusetts. Located  in the center of the school  campus in the historic Wright Building, the DSU is uniquely positioned to serve youth and families with our EEC certified After School Programs (funded by program enrollment fees) and mission-oriented programs funded by community donors and benefactors.

Although DSU operates independently from the Town and Schools, we strive to maintain strong partnerships with both; supporting their initiatives and augmenting resources and programming for the entire community.

Where Ambition Meets Opportunity - Right Here in Duxbury.

Connecting motivated students with local employers who are ready to hire, mentor, and inspire.

Every spring, hundreds of Duxbury students take their first professional step through HIREDuxbury—meeting employers, discovering new paths, and learning what it means to show up, contribute, and grow. It’s more than a job fair; it’s a launchpad for future leaders.

In March 2025, over 200 students and 60 local employers filled the Duxbury High School gym with energy, curiosity, and possibility. Employers described the experience as “energizing, efficient, and rewarding.” Students called it “confidence-building” and “the best way to get a real job.”

“The kids were wonderful, polite, respectful, and genuinely interested. This was a top-notch event.”
