Our WiFi expansion is under way
We’ve begun the expansion and improvement of our free community mesh WiFi network in Olneyville, called ONE|NB Connects.
Phase 2, when completed, will expand our reach and improve bandwidth to about 2,100 households.
ONE|NB Connects was conceived and made operational in 2020, when COVID-19 struck. We knew people in our historic home of Olneyville needed reliable internet for school and telehealth services. Read more about ONE|NB Connects
New doula training to start soon
We’re excited about Our Journ3i’s next doula training to be held from March 10-13. Our Journ3i’s Doula Workforce Development Initiative strengthens the network of doulas living or working in the nine neighborhoods of 02908 and 02909, and is funded in part by ONE|NB’s Central Providence Opportunities Health Equity Zone.
The first training took place in December with 17 participants.
Through increased access to doula services, we anticipate positive long-term impact on Black maternal health, early education outcomes, and economic mobility.
We’re proud to be partnering with Our Journ3i on this important initiative.
