“completed the jewelry 101 course. Fantastic instructor who led us through a series of steps learning the correct techniques on every tool in the Artisan's Asylum jewelry shop. We completed a ring (which my wife liked) over the two day 6 hour course. I have had some previous experience but this was an excellent learning process that taught me many things that improved my skills. Highly recommend taking this learning journey!! Great value for your money.”

“The staff at the Burbank YMCA after-school program are truly amazing. My daughter absolutely loves going there and often asks to stay even longer! She's made wonderful friends, feels accepted, and is surrounded by care and support. The program keeps her engaged, active, and entertained with a variety of activities, making every afternoon something to look forward to. As a parent, it's such a relief to know she's in such great hands, and I’m incredibly grateful for the positive, enriching environment the YMCA provides. Highly recommend!”

“All I can say is in the 60's, this was the place to go. They had sailboats, row boats, all kinds of stuff to do. I rode my bike there from somerville. I think the guy running the sailing ⛵️ program name was sully? Maybe. You had to pass and get a sailing certificate first. I can't believe that place is still there.”

“The Food Project-- awesome for so many reasons. But, never having purchased their CSA or been to one of their farmers' markets (though I definitely trust other reviewers' 5-star assessments), the basis of my review are their volunteer opportunities and workshops/events for the general public. I met one of my really good friends while volunteering at the Food Projects' urban farm near Dudley Square, where I also got my first experience in urban gardening. The staff are friendly and welcoming to all, whether you're an individual or group (just make sure you arrange ahead of time if you're bringing a big group of people). It's a great place to get your hands dirty and know that you're making a difference in the community by helping a great organization. The cooking workshops they offer at their Dudley Street HQ are also great. Knowledgeable community members teach classes on bread-making, pickling, various cultural cuisines (i.e., Sudanese or Cape Verdean), and all classes are donation-based. Cooking workshops typically run in the late winter and early spring--just in time for you to have some new ideas about how to use the harvest from the coming growing season!-- so keep an eye on TFP's Facebook page or e-mail list for updates on the workshops in mid-winter. There are also gardening workshops offered throughout the spring, and a spring seedling sale.”

“One of the best urban meditation centers in the vipassana tradition. Kind staff, beautiful building, and welcoming community.

Larry, Narayan, and Michael are incredibly knowledgeable, genuine — and human. Larry Rosenberg was one of my favorite teachers — in any spiritual tradition. He’s that rare combination of incredibly funny and blunt — and genuinely caring.

CIMC offers a variety of programming, from drop-in meditation sessions, to Wednesday evening talks, to affinity programs for various communities — to daylong in-center retreats.

The building housing the center is absolutely gorgeous. It’s traditional and stately — while remaining cozy and welcoming. The surrounding wooden fence and gardens give the impression of being in a Japanese monastery.

Beautiful place and great people. I highly recommend it!”

“What an amazing place to have as a resource. The people that work there are always super friendly. It's nice to have a place to stay that's not a hospital! They have everything you could need. A nice and quiet room, many shared bathrooms. There a nice yard with playset for the kids. A huge playroom in the basement plus a media room and laundry room. Plus they always have family style meals to share in their large dining room. The kitchen is big with enough room for at least 2 families to cook at once. They usually have pantry items and shared items in the fridge. They make it feel comfortable and safe. Thank you Boston House!!”

“For over 6 years now, Commonwealth Learning Center has consistently provided excellent individualized tutoring and academic support that has helped our child have proficiency and confidence in school. We appreciate how the tutors over the years got to know our child's specific needs and how they followed a plan of development but remained flexible enough to apply their development plan to real life school assignments. The CLC culture, while focused and skilled, enabled the tutors to work with our child's needs and communicate regularly with us as parents. We are grateful for the lasting impact and shudder to think of where our now high schooler would be without the investment of teachers and tutors and Commonwealth Learning Center. Thank you CLC!”
