Fenway has the highest concentration of young adults of any neighborhood in Boston, so we're delighted to be back in the shadow of Boston's most beloved ball park to gather our neighbors once again. Join us at the Fenway Community Center for snacks, drinks, and civic updates from special City Hall guests. From the SPARK Boston Council to the Civic Power Pledge and beyond, the Community Engagement Cabinet has plenty of ways for you to get involved in your neighborhood and beyond! We look forward to seeing you there.

More on the Fenway Community Center, our incredible hosts for the evening of civic fun:

The Fenway Community Center helps local people build connections. Our mission is to serve as a gathering place to share information, deliver programs, and provide services that enrich the lives of all Fenway residents. We provide programming for all ages in arts, wellness, enrichment, and civic engagement.
