Soon to be the largest employer among the communities that border Boston to the north, Encore Boston Harbor Resort is in the midst of hiring 5,000 people for 500 different kinds of jobs in advance of its June opening. We have worked closely with Encore staff to understand their needs and hiring process, and in March we put on our first ever one-day Practice Job Fair specifically designed to prepare our residents to put their best foot forward in the Encore hiring process. With the help of our volunteers, we were able to assist over 60 people and helped many secure jobs at Encore. Due to this wonderful success, we are hosting a second Practice Job Fair Monday April 22nd, 2-8pm in anticipation of Encore's final major hiring event. We are asking volunteers to commit to either volunteering from 2-5pm with a training from 1-2pm or volunteering 5:30-8pm with a training from 5-5:30pm.

With the knowledge gained through our collaboration with Encore, you can help prepare resumes and conduct mock interviews, providing applicants with a final boost so that they can emerge from the interview process successful. The opening of Encore is a unique opportunity to connect Chelsea residents to stable and high-paying jobs that can transform their lives.

Join us, and help people start their new career!

Mission Statement

Our Mission is to invest in the process of building healthy neighborhoods by promoting affordable housing, desirable public spaces and resident prosperity and leadership.

Our Vision is to work towards a future in which Chelsea, Revere, and Everett are cities of opportunity - comprised of healthy neighborhoods where people feel welcome and connected to their community. Places where residents of all income levels can grow and prosper.

Supporting People: Our Connect team provides education opportunities including debt management and homebuying basics. We also offer financial coaching to encourage responsible money management and to increase household wealth.

Engaging Community: Through our community building activities, we create strong connections among neighbors, foster a positive neighborhood identity and build social capital linking residents and community institutions to foster a vibrant sense of community life.

Building Housing: TND and our partners develop quality affordable apartments and homes for mixed- income households through the purchase of existing substandard properties and former industrial sites.

Advocate for Housing Justice: TND seeks to engage residents in initiatives, advocacy, and legislation surrounding affordable housing. We believe that resident leaders have the power to keep their cities affordable through education and actions.
