15th Annual Cambridge MLK Day of Service and Learning
For 14 years volunteers have been coming together on MLK DAY to provide critical necessities to people served by more than 70 organizations in Cambridge and surrounding towns. In 2024, more than 1,250 volunteers lent their helping hands during the Cambridge MLK Day of Service. The annual goal is to create an experience that brings the community together for the sole purpose of caring for our neighbors.

Designer Selection Procurement Documents
The following documents are used when drafting a request for proposals for architect and engineering services. These documents are used when selecting an architect to work on a building project estimated to cost over $100,000.00 or when the services are estimated to cost more than $10,000.00. These documents can also be used when choosing a designer or engineer for a non-building project, except where noted.
Civic Assembly
Cambridge is holding its first Civic Assembly from October - December 2026 to consider whether, how, and under what conditions the City should use gunshot-detection technology, such as ShotSpotter, and overnight video surveillance of public parks in its approach to public safety, including what rules, safeguards, and oversight should govern their use.
Greenhouse Gas Inventory
To understand our impact on climate change and measure progress over time, Cambridge has committed to doing a greenhouse gas inventory of its emissions at least every five years. This information helps the City understand where emissions are coming from, identify the biggest opportunities to reduce them, and guide the policies and programs that support our goal of reaching net zero emissions by 2050.
