BOSTON - Monday, April 24, 2017 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh and the Office of Neighborhood Services today launched Boston's first annual Civic Engagement week, beginning Monday, April 24th and running through Saturday, April 29th. This week will be dedicated to highlighting ways residents can become engaged in their communities and increasing awareness of events and projects they can participate in. "As we head into spring, I encourage Bostonians throughout our City to engage with their local community, and get involved," said Mayor Walsh. "Civic Engagement week is a great opportunity for everyone to come together, meet their neighbors, and make our City better." Mayor Walsh kicked-off Civic Engagement week at the Fenway Victory Gardens, where the Mayor began his summer-long neighborhood coffee hours, an opportunity for residents to meet Mayor Walsh, and engage with leaders from across City departments. In addition to Civic Engagement week events, this week also begins Love Your Block, a high-impact spring cleaning program that encourages residents to improve their neighborhoods over the course of three weekends. Spring cleaning locations include community gardens, pocket parks, public schools and sidewalks. Love Your Block, previously known as Boston Shines, will now include year-round cleanups, applications for innovative beautification mini-grants and new uses for City-provided tool sheds. Residents can sign up to volunteer at Boston.gov. "Civic Engagement week and Love Your Block cleanups are a great way for residents to get civiclly engaged and learn about City resources that can help keep their streets and neighborhoods clean," said Kaira Fox, program director of Love Your Block.
