OK, ONEin3ers, at long last it is time to open up applications for the 2010-2011 ONEin3 Boston Mayor’s Advisory Council.
The Mayor’s Advisory Council was created to find out about, research and recommend solutions to the problems facing Boston’s ONEin3 population. Through the Advisory Council, ONEin3 and Mayor Menino work to improve quality-of-life for 20-34 year olds living in the City of Boston.
The Council works with senior members of Mayor Menino’s administration to identify and create policy and programming that will improve life in Boston for all of us.
Of course, I’m a biased source, but I think the Council is a one of a kind opportunity to shape our city and I’ll tell you why:
- You get to work with the Mayor and his staff, which means your impact is direct.
- You and your fellow Councilors decide what to work on because you know the City and your experience best.
- The Council is an opportunity to be a leader and a spokesperson for the 200,000 20-34 year-olds in Boston.
- We NEED YOU!!!
Most important?
The other people on the Council are simply amazing and you get to work with them.
So, if you’d like to improve Jobs and Careers, Civic Engagement, Social and Cultural Life, Housing, and Young Families (and anything else you can think of) for your fellow young people, APPLY HERE.
Hello my fabulous ONEin3ers. Can it be Wednesday and Thursday at the same time? In the real world…no….at ONEin3 yes it can! Although volunteering is always fun and fulfilling it usually does not involve knocking a few drinks back and not lifting a finger. Therefore, because of the amazing event we are going to tell you about…. today is not only Volunteer Vednesday but ALSO Fun Thursday….pretty sweet…I know.
Soooo…check out these fabulous events!!!! ENJOY!!!

EDITOR’s NOTE: We got great response to this post from all of you in the ONEin3 community. So great, in fact, that our two focus groups filled up in under an hour. We are working to get more voices heard through these efforts and we’ll let you know as soon as we have something to announce. In the meantime, please please leave any ideas or suggestions that you have about housing in Boston in the comments section. THANKS!
Do you LOVE Boston, but worry about living here permanently because of the cost?
Are you desperate for somewhere to grill in the summertime?
Do you wish you could live closer to work and shorten your commute?
If you could imagine your ideal house or apartment in Boston, what would it look like?
NOW is your chance to make your voice heard and influence new housing development in the City.
The Housing Committee of the ONEin3 Boston Mayor’s Advisory Council is conducting two focus groups that will influence the City’s plans for future housing development. Even though one third of Boston’s population is between the ages of 20 and 34, there is very little housing developed with young people specifially in mind.
Please sign up for a short focus group on the following dates and help the City of Boston help you! The focus group will last approximately an hour and a half and will take place at Boston City Hall on Monday, March 15th or Tuesday March 23rd.
