Revere Community School celebrated 10 years of amazing program accomplishment on May 11,2023 at the Revere High School Cafeteria.

 It was a wondaful night of celebration attended by our students, their families, school and city officials, community partners and State senator Lydia Edwards, State Rep. Jessica Giannino and Jeffery Turco. Thank you to to our program Coordinator Fadiala, our clerk, Aida Guzman, Barbara Sargent, June Zhang and all our amazing staff who generously helped make the event come together.

"We love helping families because that helps the kids. When parents and caregivers have what they need they are better able to help the children and engage in the school. Having RCS in the school building help increase parent and family engagement and access to more resources" Dr. Dianne Kelly

Thank you for the incredible partnership with the Community school.

City of Revere Awards $660,000 of Community Development Block Grant Public Service Funding to Community Organizations  

Money granted to community organizations who supported low to moderate income Revere residents throughout pandemic

REVERE, MA- Today Mayor Brian Arrigo and the Department of Planning and Community Development awarded Revere community organizations and municipal agencies a total of $660,000 through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. Each awarded organization successfully demonstrates an ability to prevent, prepare for, and/or respond to the pandemic as well as service predominantly low to moderate income Revere residents.

“The pandemic has heightened the need for collaborative approaches to economic recovery,” said Mayor Brian Arrigo. “The CDBG program is an incredible opportunity for community partners and organizations. I am thankful for all the work they have done throughout the pandemic and know they will use this grant to better our community.”

The following nonprofit organizations and City Departments will receive CDBG funding:

 

 

 

​"Given the adverse impacts of the pandemic on Revere residents, funding our community partners will yield exciting, innovative approaches to struggles our community faces every day,” said Danielle Osterman, Community Development Program Manager. “By focusing on housing stability, pathways to good jobs, and increasing access to affordable childcare, these community partners draw upon key recommendations from Revere's Workforce Development Plan. The CDBG Program in Revere continues to take steps towards establishing long-lasting, transformational benefits for our hard-working residents.”

This work coupled with the city's overall master plan, Next Stop Revere, will create the tools and policies necessary for the next generation of success in Revere. Visit the Community Development Office’s webpage on revere.org for more information.

Revere Works Coalition Awarded $100,000 by Urban Agenda Grant Program

The Revere Works coalition, led by The Neighborhood Developers (TND), was awarded $100,000 by the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development through the Urban Agenda Grant Program. The funded project’s main goal is to build a continuum of soft skills, computer literacy and computer skills training programs. It will leverage in-kind support from the City of Revere, laptop lending libraries housed at Revere Community School and TND, and funding from the Massachusetts General Hospital and Massachusetts Health Policy Commission.

 

This grant is the third awarded to Revere Works through the Urban Agenda program, which helped seed the coalition of City departments, workforce training agencies, and educational providers serving Revere residents through coordinated workforce development planning, programming, and employer and community engagement. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, programing was focused on building the skills needed for employment in the travel and hospitality sector, and has since shifted to accommodate the new, post-pandemic demands of the workforce.

 

COVID-19 has accelerated the move to virtual hiring platforms, which require job seekers to be computer literate and possess basic English skills—a significant hurdle for the more than 25% of Revere residents who do not speak English fluently. Revere Works will build new bridges between organizations to formalize client referrals from one provider to another, and subsequently into jobs. For instance, job seekers who aren’t eligible for Moroccan American Connections in Revere’s (MACIR’s) IT job training program will be referred to ESOL, computer literacy, or soft skills trainings to better prepare them for future enrollment. After completing these trainings, the job seekers would be referred back to MACIR. Additionally, job seekers could enroll in TND construction and building maintenance pre-apprenticeship program or other advanced training opportunities.

 

The training continuum includes:

 

 

The Revere Works coalition includes Women Encouraging Empowerment, Revere Community Schools, Moroccan American Connections in Revere (MACIR), TND/CONNECT, Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Community Health Improvement, and the City of Revere. The City of Revere has recently developed a Revere Works website that serves as a central hub for job seekers and employers. The website can be found at https://www.revere.org/revere-work
