Somerville Recreation

A big thank you to HOPE (Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences) for spending time with our team during training last month! 💙🎒

Our staff had the opportunity to learn about the HOPE framework, which focuses on promoting positive childhood experiences that help children, families, and communities thrive by building resilience, strengthening relationships, and supporting healthy development. HOPE provides training and resources that help organizations create environments where every child can succeed.

To top it all off, they surprised our staff with some awesome HOPE swag—including sling bags and other goodies to enjoy! 🎉

We’re grateful for our partnership with the City of Somerville’s Prevention Services, part of the Health and Human Services Department, for bringing this valuable training to our team and helping us continue to create positive experiences for the youth and families we serve. 💙
