Stanley Pollack editorial in the Boston Globe

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

Stanley Pollack, executive director of the Center for Teen Empowerment, writes an important editorial in today’s Boston Globe about the recent drastic increase in teen violence in the city of Boston.

To save lives, it is critical that the actions taken be based on a rigorous analysis of what worked in the 1990s to turn back a youth culture of guns, gangs, and violence. Only through this careful process can we develop an effective strategy that can reinstate stable community life in Boston neighborhoods.

I’ve done some work for Stanley in the past, and I’m proud that the Globe Foundation funds them. Their mission is worthy. Please consider contributing to the cause.

Boston Cares’ Civic Leadership Institute

Sunday, March 12th, 2006

Last May, I became a charter fellow of Boston Cares’ Civic Leadership Institute. Along with 30 or so other Bostonians, I’ve spent the last year learning how to apply my private-sector skills to public-sector challenges. It’s been a great year, and I’m sad it will soon conclude.

My year is done, but yours could soon begin. Boston Cares is now accepting applications for its 2006 class of the Civic Leadership Institute. I think you should check it out.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment or drop me an email.
