Back to School Block Party for Peace

Back to School Block Party for Peace This event provides free back packs with school supplies, free food, games and most importantly Promotes Peace!

In 2009 I was introduced to a young woman named Talia Rivera. After meeting with her I was introduced to a Program by the name of Boston Rising. While working with Boston rising I was asked if I would host a neighbor circle and although I was skeptical I agreed. The goal was to invite 10 people on my street into my home to get to know my neighbors. After hosting and facilitating these 3 neighbor c

ircles. I was granted a $500 grant and the stipulation was to take the money and put it back into my neighborhood. So I decided that since my street had never had a block party I would host a Back to School Block Party for Peace. Through grassroot footwork and door to door communication I was able to give away free back packs with school supplies, free food and well as provide activities for the children in the neighborhood. With the help of my City Councilor Tito Jackson and several local businesses, every year has been a success!
