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.

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.. Cultural attractions provide residents opportunities for recreation and culture, and can only help improve the quality of life.

Event History: June 19 is now officially Juneteenth National Independence Day, a US federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. It commemorates June 19, 1865: the day that Union Army Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas, and told slaves of their emancipation. That day came more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. Even after Lincoln declared all enslaved people free on paper, that hadn't necessarily been the case in practice. Juneteenth is also known as Emancipation Day. People across the country celebrate with food and festivities, much like the Fourth of July.
