A Community Collaboration
Winterlights: A Circle of Peace was supported and made possible by friends and partners in the community and by The Transformative Public Art program and the Opportunity Fund 2.0 of the City of Boston Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture.
Speak for the trees
Trees matter—for public health, for environmental justice, for adapting to climate change.
At Speak for the Trees, Boston, we care about trees because they care for us. We work at the intersection of environmental justice, racial and social equity, public health, and climate change to advocate for a healthy and equitable urban forest in Boston. We recognize the inequities of tree canopy coverage and believe that trees are a vital component of developing, building, and maintaining healthy and vibrant communities.
We work at the community level (with you, Boston), to build trusting partnerships that honor local experiences, perspectives, and goals.

Hawthorne Youth and Community Center
Hawthorne Youth and Community Center is a grassroots, non-profit that has been responsive to community needs for over forty years. The center, the brainchild of a small group of concerned community youth and adults, began in a converted coal cellar in 1967. Three years later operations moved to a larger Roxbury facility at 9 Fulda Street, a building on an Archdiocese owned complex. In 1973, they formally incorporated as Hawthorne Youth & Community Center (HYCC).
