After careful consideration of community input, City Council feedback, and the project's overall goals, we have decided not to install a synthetic turf field or the athletic lighting, which was included to support additional permitted use of the space.
Polyam Education Discussion with The Queer Neighborhood Council (Central Square)
Polyamory is having a "moment," but for the queer community, intentional relationship-building has always been a tool for liberation. As interest in non-monogamy grows, so does the need for clarification and conversation. Join us for Poly Talk, an intimate discussion dedicated to the complexities of polyamory and consensual non-monogamy (CNM) through the queer lens. This is a space to dismantle hetero-mononormative stigmas and celebrate the diverse ways our community shows up for and with one another.
Pull up a chair. Join our affair. Let’s talk about how we grow a community that embodies our shared values and vision for the future. Note: All relationship dynamics are welcome, provided they are rooted in consent.
Conversation facilitated by The Queer Neighborhood Council.
Registration required.
Longitudinal Study by Science Club for Girls and Cambridge STEAM Initiative
Science Club for Girls (SCFG) and the Cambridge STEAM Initiative are excited to share data from the Longitudinal Study of SCFG alums. The study collected feedback from 70 alums who participated in the SCFG's programming — which serves girls and gender-expansive youth in Kindergarten through 12th grade — to evaluate how alums’ experiences influenced their career paths, motivation to pursue STEM fields, and leadership development.
