• City Of Roxbury Tours "Beautification Program"

  with MOER Foundation, inc.
  55 Roxbury Streetsuite 190445Roxbury, MA 02119
  Thu, June 19, 2025 - Fri, June 20, 2025

  In simplest terms, neighborhood beautification means making a neighborhood look and feel better. While the residents of some neighborhoods may be concerned with forcing their ideas of beauty and acceptability on others, most simply want their neighborhoods to be livable and pleasant. Neighborhood beautification, if it’s approached with the right attitude, can lead to more interaction among neighbors from diverse backgrounds, more neighborhood life, and a neighborhood look and feel that attracts new residents and businesses and supports both economic development and a sense of community. A neighborhood beautification program isn’t a single event ("Fix Up Your Street"), but rather a strategy to maintain, enhance, and/or change the character of your neighborhood over the long term. You may approach particular elements of our program one at a time, but your focus should be on your long-term vision for the neighborhood. Visit Nubian Square Neighborhood beautification program will can help attract new business. 1) Neighborhood businesses are important for many reasons: they provide convenient local shopping and services, they can offer jobs to neighborhood residents, and they can keep the neighborhood alive, contributing to Roxbury street life and economic development. Most business would prefer to move to areas that are attractive and where residents and other businesses take care of their properties. Well-kept neighborhoods with regular street traffic increases business. Visit Nubian Square Neighborhood beautification program can attract entertainment and culture. 2) As with businesses in general, a neighborhood beautification effort can attract attention from the entertainment industry as well: a theater company, a museum, a movie theater, etc.. Cultural attractions provide residents opportunities for recreation and culture, and can only help improve the quality of life. Visit Nubian Square Neighborhood beautification program can serve as the base for neighborhood revitalization. 3) Because a neighborhood beautification program will help to attract new residents, businesses, and cultural institutions, it can help turn a dull, mediocre neighborhoods into a vibrant, excellent one. It often takes only a small step or two to start a turnaround - a new restaurant, an art gallery, or an experimental theater may signal to the community that the neighborhood is on the upswing.

  The Cambridge AreaCambridge, MA 02139
  It's Flexible! We'll work with your schedule

  Opening a birthday giving chapter is easy, fun, and a great way to give back to the community! Here's how it works: 1. We schedule a video call with you to explain how the process works. 2. Our first choice is to find a Salvation Army location (or another organization that is willing to pick up the birthday bags from your house) that is geographically close to where you live. 3. We contact the Salvation Army (or another organization that is willing to pick up the birthday bags from your house) and explain The Birthday Giving Program's mission. This organization should be able to pick up the birthday bags from your house. 4. You order the birthday bag supplies off of Amazon or another online store and have the gifts shipped to your house. Each birthday bag costs between $5 and $10, depending on how many gifts you decide to put in the bag. Your goal is to provide 10 birthday bags to the organization each month. Each birthday bag includes the same gift items, which will go to kids of a specific age group! 5. Once you have packed the birthday bags, you contact the organization and they pick up the birthday bags from your house! You can also drop off the birthday bags and/or host birthday parties at the organization if you'd like. If you are interested in serving the senior citizen or veterans division let us know and we can find an organization to connect you with!

• Be a Reading Mentor with Read to a Child in Boston's Metro West!

  with Read to a Child
  Framingham, MA 01702
  It's Flexible! We'll work with your schedule

  In person lunchtime volunteer opportunities in Marlborough and Framingham, MA! FRAMINGHAM Harmony Grove Elementary - Tuesday OR Wednesday, Brophy Elementary - Tuesday, Wednesday OR Friday MARLBOROUGH Richer Elmentary School - Tuesday, Wednesday OR Thursday Read Aloud Mentoring Program In Read to a Child’s Read Aloud Mentoring Program, an adult is partnered one-on-one with a student attending one of our partner elementary schools for a rewarding, weekly read aloud experience. The relationship typically lasts for the entire school year and often extends for multiple years through the end of fourth grade. Reading pairs are supported by an on-site Program Coordinator, employed by Read to a Child, and are provided access to a wide selection of appropriate books to read. The simple act of reading aloud to a child once a week, over time, can have a profound impact on the child’s future. The Read Aloud Mentoring Program also offers the adult a convenient, joyful, and meaningful way to give back. Why Read to a Child? Read to a Child’s model is based on the premise that a love of reading is a driver of opportunity for children throughout their lifetime. A caring connection with a reading mentor helps to facilitate the attention, engagement, and confidence that all children need to thrive. Reading aloud is known to be the single most powerful way to promote strong reading skills in children. According to the landmark 1985 report Becoming a Nation of Readers, "Reading aloud is the single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading." According to a study by Berk L.E. of Pearson Education, Inc. (2009), "When adults read to children, discussing story content, asking open-ended questions about story events, explaining the meaning of words, and pointing out features of print, they promote increased language development, comprehension of story content, knowledge of story structure, and a better understanding of language - all of which lead to literacy success." Who Do We Serve? Read to a Child serves grade K-4 students at Title 1 elementary schools. Read to Child’s current school partners consist of, on average, 79% low income as well as 47% Latino/a, 36% Black, and 3% AAPI students. Diversity Statement Read to a Child is committed to providing resources to children most impacted by systemic inequalities. We have faith in our students’ ability to thrive and choose to focus on their strengths rather than the barriers they face. We are motivated to continuously act on our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion among reading mentors, staff, and board members so as to best reflect and support the students we serve.

  At All Care Hospice, you can do just that. And who knows? Maybe the life that changes could be yours.. Each assignment is unique and varies depending on the patient/family's needs and the volunteer's availability and interests. Some possible assignments may include providing companionship to a patient through compassionate listening, reading aloud, playing games, watching movies/television, holding hands, doing hobbies/crafts and/or journaling. Other assignments aid the caregiver by running errands, doing light housekeeping, cooking and providing respite for a patient while the caregiver attends to his/her own personal needs. Volunteers do not have to provide medical or personal care to the patients and designate when and where they are assigned. We offer opportunities in Lynn, Swampscott, Wakefield, Lynnfield, Stoneham, Somerville, Cambridge, Medford, Malden, Saugus, Revere, Nahant, Danvers, Peabody, Beverly, Wilmington and Arlington, Newton, Allston, Brighton adnd Jamicia Plain.
