We are happy to announce the commencement of the NeighborWorks Blackstone River Valley BOOST! 100 Women program. At the kick-off celebration on Friday, May 30th ,  NWBRV and partners Freddie Mac and the RI Chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women committed to help raise 100 women to financial independence through education. Speakers from NeighborWorks America, Freddie Mac, the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, RI Foundation, Webster Bank and RI General Treasurer Gina Raimondo all praised the BOOST! 100 Women initiative as economically empowering to women and families and as an asset to the state.
