Mattahunt Communitywide Planning Meeting

At the B-3 District Community Meeting on April 12 several residents voiced concerns about no community centers in Mattapan for youth to go after school hours. Although many may feel there is a lack of open centers for the community in Mattapan, there are two city-run centers; the Gallivan Center and the Mildred Avenue Center (Thank you Bill Forry from The Dorchester Reporter for bringing this to our attention)

Join the Mattahunt Community Center Partnership in revitalizing their community center. This will be the final meeting. Dinner, childcare and translation to Haitian Creole & Spanish will be provided.

GOTCHA Youth Summit

GOTCHA

Believe to Achieve this Saturday at the 6th annual Youth Summit! This event is a FREE day of fun at The Strand Theatre for youth in the community. Packed with a talent show, workshops, guest speakers, free dinner and an after party. No Sistah Souljah due to a scheduling conflict, but lots of great entertainment and opportunities will be available! The summit will be educational and address past and present issues within neighboring communities.

The MyDorchester Team thanks the community for keeping us on our toes! We encourage anyone to let us know if you notice any outdated or incorrect information on the eBlast or website.
