Neighborhood Local Centers
We want families and educators in the city of Boston to be aware of the resources and services available in the communities where they live and work. Boston Community Partnerships awards small grants to agencies rooted in specific communities around the city. These “Neighborhood Agents” as we call them serve as a clearinghouse for information related to early education and care. Both families and educators of young children are encouraged to contact the Neighborhood Agent in their community.
