The Legal Services Center of Harvard Law School (LSC) is running a series of workshops building off of our monthly CORI sealing events. In addition to sealing clients’ records, this revised series seeks to assist clients with elements of the re-entry process such as:

• finding housing,
• securing CORI-friendly employment,
• pursuing education and job training, and
• developing financial literacy, among other subjects.

The setup of the events will mirror that of a job or career fair, with representatives operating tables in the library space and speaking to potential clients about their organizations. Additionally, the events will have brief presentations on the CORI sealing process open to clients and attending organizations.

We held our pilot workshop on April 5, and we are now planning our second session. The workshop will take place on Wednesday, July 12, from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. at the Roxbury/Nubian Square Branch of the Boston Public Library (149 Dudley St, Roxbury, MA 02119). 

We would absolutely love to see turnout from across Boston, as a number of organizations planning to attend the Roxbury/Nubian Square event serve individuals across Greater Boston.

Mayor Michelle Wu, elected officials and South Boston residents will officially reopen the BCYF Curley Community Center, which underwent a $31.2 million renovation, on Friday, July 7, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. The newly renovated space includes state of the art fitness and activity spaces for community members of all ages, and was built with climate resiliency features to better protect the beachfront facility from flooding and coastal storms. 

The BCYF Paris Street Pool, located at 113 Paris Street in East Boston, will reopen with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, July 6, at 10:30 a.m., following a $8.9 million, three year renovation. All are invited to the celebration.

The building was completely renovated including upgrades to the mechanical systems, bathrooms and locker rooms, and the pool. There is a modified main entrance and lobby area, reconfigured interior spaces and exterior upgrades which make it a more inviting and user-friendly space.

There will be no charge for membership or programming but visitors need to create a membership at Boston.gov/BCYF-Registration. Registration for classes and programs can be found on the pool’s webpage, Boston.gov/BCYF-Paris-Street-Pool, once the pool opens.

The Public Facilities Department (PFD), Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF), and Fennick McCredie Architecture invite you to join us for a remote meeting to discuss the  BCYF Clougherty Pool Project.
