More Than Words, premier nonprofit seller of used books in Greater Boston, has expanded into vintage clothing. We cut a ribbon last night at the renovated Waltham store. Founder Jodi Rosenbaum knows books, knows clothes, and knows kids. “We work with youth, ages 16-24, who are in the foster care system, court-involved, homeless, out of school, parenting, or involved with the Department of Mental Health. At More Than Words, our young people earn a spot on our team running a successful $4M business, gain promotions, set and achieve personal goals, advocate for their rights, and learn skills to set them up for success in any career path they choose.”
