Public service announcement 😉 #everydayboston #storiesconnectus

Now that summer’s officially a wrap, take a look in our newsletter at how Everyday Boston got busy building community across the city: https://lnkd.in/e6FUTsq5 #storiesconnectus

Swing by Boston Public Library Roxbury during your Monday lunch break and share a story with a neighbor you might not otherwise know! #storiesconnectus

Happy National Voter Registration Day from Everyday Boston! Here’s your reminder from Agnes and Javon about the importance of voting. Big thanks to our friends at YMCA of Greater Boston for collaborating with us on this pandemic-era partnership, where we connected teens to elders by phone. Agnes and Javon got along famously, and ended up talking nearly an hour about everything from their favorite books to the fun of learning from young children.

Awesome to see lines around the corner for our story share events at Northeastern University this week- more than 200 freshmen leaning in to connect, instead of just exchanging information about where they grew up, or what they plan to major in. 🤣 Big thanks to Northeastern’s Honors program (Becca Berkey, Ph.D. Clarque Brown) for inviting us in, and playing such an active role in helping students connect. Good luck to everyone starting college in Boston this week (and good luck to the rest of us living in the city on move in day 😳)! #storiesconnectus #everydayboston

Showing our rivals some love (because even Yankees deserve it). 🤣 Shoutout to Stephen Pina #storiesconnectus #everydayboston #conversation #connection

A story about the moment that made it all worthwhile. Big thanks to Emi for sharing, and to Jordan, our high school intern, for gathering up the courage to ask. #storiesconnectus #everydayboston

Shoutout to our awesome high school intern, Jordan, who’s pushed himself WAY outside his comfort zone this summer and completely crushed it. Just last month, he was wondering how on earth he’d ever be able to talk to strangers. Now, with the help of his mentors (thanks, Stephen Pina and Che Pope!), he’s interviewing neighbors on the street, listening to their stories at Everyday Boston’s conversation stations, and getting to know his city better along the way, from Eastie (where he lives) to Rozzie to Roxbury to Downtown to Mattapan. (Stay tuned for Jordan’s first interview later this week!) Big thanks to Malik Gomes Jonathan Gonzalez and Tanisha DeLeon at Youth Options Unlimited for connecting us to Jordan and to our other amazing intern, Dahlya, who’s been working away from our cameras this summer. She’s been whipping our databases into shape, doing tons of critical research, and giving us the benefit of her wisdom about the stories we’ve collected- what she sees in them, and what she wants us to highlight, so that others can see. Thank you, Dahlya and Jordan! You’re the best. #storiesconnectus #youth #voices #community #conversation #connection #citylife #boston #massachusetts
