Memorial Day - Cemetery Opening

After many hours of volunteer work (with many more to come), the historic Codman Burying Ground is going to be open to the public for the first time in recent history. Members from Second Church in Dorchester, Boston Trinity Academy, Park Street Church, and The Boston Project have come together to unearth this "hidden gem" in our community. Visit us between 10:00 AM-1:00 PM on Monday, May 26, 2008 at 53 Norfolk Street, Dorchester, MA 02124.

Prepare a Special Meal for Summer Staff

Friends of The Boston Project help us care for our hard-working summer staff in many ways. Consider having your small group or yourself prepare a meal for our staff at Wednesday dinner or Friday lunch. Your care means a lot to our staff. We feed 15-20 young adults at each of these meals. Contact to help out.

Children's Bikes for Bike Day

On Thursday, July 17 (new date) we will host our 4th annual Bike Day! Neighbors and sponsors come together to provide and repair bikes for local children and youth for summer fun. Bike decorating, bike washing, and safety training are all part of the fun. 20+ new or gently used bikes needed. Contact to volunteer or contribute.

New Summer Fund - Hope Partners

In mid-May 2008, we will announce our new summer fund as a way that individuals, churches, and foundations can join us in providing a fun-filled, safe, and personally stretching summer for 50+ young people in the Talbot-Norfolk Triangle.
