Want to Be on a Board? Boston’s Community Centers Want You

A lot of young people in Boston want to get on Boards and contribute to the City in a meaningful way. There are A LOT of Boards out there who want young people to join. For whatever reason, sometimes the connection gets lost.

Well ONEin3 is here to help make that connection.

On September 7th, the Citywide Board of the Boston Centers for Youth and Families, Boston’s network of community centers, is electing new members. We know this is short notice (maybe that’s part of the problem!) but if you’d like to help your local community center build programming, manage its money, grow, cater more effectively to young people, market itself or anything else, this is your chance to make a BIG impact.

If you’d like to sit on the Citywide Community Center Board, please email Nikko Mendoza at NikkoMendoza [at] gmail [ dot] com with a letter expressing your interest and highlighting any pertinent experience.

If you’d like to get involved with any of the other Community Centers, peruse this handy list with contact information.

You should also know that the Community Centers offer great services, often for way less than you would pay at a gym, pool, tennis court or other location. Well worth looking at.

Zumix’s Run to the Beat Brings Us 4 Things We Love – Zumix, Eastie, Running and Piers Park…Oh Also Beats

The perfect storm of events is coming up on September 11th. Zumix, a fantastic musical education non-profit in East Boston, is hosting a 5K road race called Run to the Beat.

Let’s break this down:

1. Zumix trains kids to play music and we know they’re great. We were there when a Zumix band rocked the Intercontinental at a launch event for the Harbor Walk’s mp3 tour. Anything we can do to support them, we’ll do.

2. East Boston is great, as evidenced by the awesome ONEin3 Gets Around that we did there. I mean really, pupusas at Taqueria Cancun, a 4 course meal at 303 Cafe, Harbor Arts, Scup’s all a 10 minute max T ride from downtown? Did we mention that all that was $20? This neighborhood is outstanding (and there’s plenty more too).

3. 5K road race to start off a beautiful Saturday? We love our fitness oriented weekend activities.

4. Piers Park – Need I say more?

Details:

When: Saturday, September 11th at 9am

Where: Starting in Piers Park
