COMMUNITY MATTERS

THE MHH365 Blog

COMMUNITY MATTERS is our blog of volunteering news, civic engagement, and other ways to help make Cambridge a more just, more equitable and more sustainable community. We share news about events and opportunities that might be of interest to volunteers. If you have something you’d like to share please reach out.

We welcome personal stories of volunteering, student contributions, interviews and photo essays as well. We’ll be publishing some guidelines soon. And if you’d like to volunteer for an assignment, we’d love to hear from you.
