Our CHW's will redefine cultural diversity with a focus on inclusion to foster lasting relations with healthcare industry & professionals. We at the CHW Workforce are currently organizing events, throughout Boston. Our task is not only to turn away from a fear-based culture of the healthcare field, moreover to re-construct a community of trust that struggles to build Community Health Workers and people of good character. Community Health Workers (CHWs) are frontline public health workers who are trusted members of and/or have an unusually close understanding of the community they serve. This trusting relationship enables CHWs to serve as a liaison/link/intermediary between health/social services and the community to facilitate access to services and improve the quality and cultural competence of service delivery. We encourage all CHW you to join our mailing list so you will be registered as a member of the CHW Workforce of Boston.Membership supports your ability to become involved in this statewide movement to bring together CHWs and CHW stakeholders to establish the CHW practice as a stable and integral part of health and social service systems in the state of Massachussetts.

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.

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..
