Just A Start

Join us in honoring our outstanding #YouthBuild @AmeriCorps members during #AmeriCorps30. Congratulations to Katharine Baena Garces from @JustAStartCorp who was chosen as their 2023 @AmeriCorpsVISTA of the Year!

Gr8 day @CambMA today. Started with a corner dedication to "Mother Weeks," Then went to the bike rally for Mem Dr. Then visited with some Camb chickens. Then a quick time out with Henry at the dog park. Then the @JustAStartCorp BBQ, and ended at the ball event at Hoyt.

It was exciting to celebrate the topping-off of @JustAStartCorp’s Rindge Commons Economic Mobility Hub, which will include a #biotech training lab supported with a $740k #Workforce Development Capital Grant from @MALifeSciences!

Loved learning about @JustAStartCorp new, super-ambitious housing/economic mobility hub in Alewife last night! Donate!! With @Marc_C_McGovern @VoteJivan @ABetterCambMA Kids also loved the party, especially making name tags!!
