This initiative is funded by Boston Children's Collaboration for Community Health. Our goal is to address child health inequities in Roxbury by providing community members with access to STEM careers that provide high wages, thereby raising the income levels of residents and leading to better overall health. https://nubianneighborhood.org/Callout Fri, 19 Nov 2021 16:00:12 +0000 Nubian Neighborhood Network https://nubianneighborhood.org/Callout “Too often, we witness residents of Roxbury and North Dorchester miss out on learning and job opportunities across the City of Boston due to discrimination across race and class and lack of accessibility of these opportunities. Through Nubian Neighborhood Network, neighborhood organizations, community members and Boston businesses will be able to create programs that rectify this injustice and provide the skills and pipelines necessary for residents to secure fulfilling employment that meets their potential” Keila Barros, Resident and DSNI Board President https://nubianneighborhood.org/Organizations Fri, 12 Nov 2021 16:19:43 +0000 Nubian Neighborhood Network https://nubianneighborhood.org/Organizations Organizations in our Network <img class="org-pic" src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/673e894375f5ac7e4e6aec5c8b49df28ab101efac68e9a365c379837b9e87272/DSNI-Logo.jpg" style="width: 18em; height: auto; padding: 0 3em 3em 3em;"> <img class="org-pic" src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/081152751fe684dbc61f7043e66d573d891ad6651f31323fa0472cc326ffa5d5/ProjectHopeLogo.png" style="width: 18em; height: auto; padding: 0 3em 3em 3em;"> <img class="org-pic" src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d8ae310d3c9472dec61253c66b8b92ac6bd8872f8ffab9ccf69047aca5c0a8ae/BPE-full-name-transparent-png.png" style="width: 18em; height: auto; padding: 0 3em 3em 3em;"> Funded by <img width="1080" height="1145" width_o="1080" height_o="1145" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ea6ab693ac2c0058eedeff104378f4eed2df78452589de21fb3f8d93a1f8054a/BCH_CCHealth_Badge_Kids_HI.jpg" data-mid="129940794" border="0" data-scale="15" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ea6ab693ac2c0058eedeff104378f4eed2df78452589de21fb3f8d93a1f8054a/BCH_CCHealth_Badge_Kids_HI.jpg" /> https://nubianneighborhood.org/Pathways-Intro Fri, 12 Nov 2021 19:42:56 +0000 Nubian Neighborhood Network https://nubianneighborhood.org/Pathways-Intro Nubian Neighborhood Network is working to strengthen STEM career pathways in our community.
