Community Resource Fair for Returning Citizens

Come learn more about the resources available in our City for Bostonians returning home from incarceration.

July 12, 2023
2023-07-12T10:00:00 - 2023-07-12T12:00:00

The Legal Services Center of Harvard Law School (LSC) is running a series of workshops building off of our monthly CORI sealing events. In addition to sealing clients’ records, this revised series seeks to assist clients with elements of the re-entry process such as:

  • finding housing,
  • securing CORI-friendly employment,
  • pursuing education and job training, and
  • developing financial literacy, among other subjects.

The setup of the events will mirror that of a job or career fair, with representatives operating tables in the library space and speaking to potential clients about their organizations. Additionally, the events will have brief presentations on the CORI sealing process open to clients and attending organizations.

We held our pilot workshop on April 5, and we are now planning our second session. The workshop will take place on Wednesday, July 12, from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. at the Roxbury/Nubian Square Branch of the Boston Public Library (149 Dudley St, Roxbury, MA 02119). 

We would absolutely love to see turnout from across Boston, as a number of organizations planning to attend the Roxbury/Nubian Square event serve individuals across Greater Boston.

Tito Puente Latin Music Series: Jesus Pagán

Join us this summer in Boston Parks for live salsa music and dance.

August 14, 2025
2025-08-14T19:00:00 - 2025-08-14T20:30:00

Created in honor of Latin music icon Tito Puente, this series celebrates 16 years of bringing live Latin music with a strong salsa influence to Boston parks. The series is sponsored in part by:

Jesús Pagán was born in 1970 in New York City to Puerto Rican parents, and from a very young age has had affinity and passion for tropical music and live performances. After living in Puerto Rico through his formative years, he has steadily honed his craft as a background vocalist and lead singer in the New England and the tri-state region, quickly ingratiating himself with the fan base and becoming a first tier artist on the salsa and dance scene.

Throughout the years, he has continued to record, travel, and appear at some of the foremost musical venues in the world. For example, Pagán has had the honor of singing at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York City alongside the legendary Gilberto Santa Rosa and Eguie Castrillo’s Big Band in 2013. He was also a guest artist at the sold out concert at the beautiful Macarena Arena in Medellin, Colombia as the lead vocalist with Orquesta Dicupé in front of over 20,000 adoring salsa fans.

Jesús Pagán y Su Orquesta was featured at the sold out concert From Woodstock to Old San Juan at the prestigious Academy of Music in the city of Northampton, Massachusetts. Pagán has had the immense honor of performing with his band as the opening group at concerts for Latin dignitaries such as Willie Colón, Milly Quezada, and La India, among others.

For his contributions, talent, and dedication to the salsa genre, Pagán was named in the book La Historia de la Salsa en Discusión, released in Cali, Colombia as one of the new era  of salsa artists keeping the flame and legacy of Latin music alive in this emerging world of musical marketing and digital distribution.

Among his numerous accomplishments, Pagán was invited to perform in 2023 at the Coca-Cola Music Hall in San Juan, Puerto Rico, honoring the 100th birthday of Latin music legend Tito Puente.

For 2024, Pagán has released his latest musical production, an intriguing compendium of his most popular singles and album tracks. In essence, it is a definitive collection of eight songs that exemplify the contagious beat and electric style of a musician who is always striving to reach new heights as a vocalist, bandleader, and entertainer.

Tito Puente Latin Music Series: Clave & Blues

Join us this summer in Boston Parks for live salsa music and dance.

August 7, 2025
2025-08-07T19:00:00

Created in honor of Latin music icon Tito Puente, this series celebrates years of bringing live Latin music with a strong salsa influence to Boston parks. The series is sponsored in part by:

Clave & Blues is a young Cuban music and Latin jazz band that has performed at several concert halls and festivals in the Boston area since 2016, including Lawrence Jazz Festival, Boston POPS, and many others. The mix between Afro-Cuban rhythms, blues, R&B, and world music creates a contemporary sound that gives this band its place in the New England music scene. The band includes professional international musicians under the direction of Cuban pianist and Berklee graduate Anibal Cruz. Their first single, "La Raza" (2020), shares a call for peace, diversity, celebration, and inclusion — a tribute to traditional Cuban music and its culture.

"Our goal is to create music that engages people of all ages and cultural backgrounds. We aim to grow an audience that loves Cuban music and its culture."
