Bicycle Road Readiness Skills (Level 3)

If you have the basic biking skills like starting, stopping, and turning, but want to build your confidence to ride in the street, come to a free Road Readiness clinic for adults. Our experienced staff and volunteers will help each participant gain skills and confidence so you’re ready to venture onto the street and keep on rolling! This class is taught entirely in a parking lot. We will run through some fun activities to build skills like using hand signals, shifting gears, and riding in a steady line. You’ll get lots of practice and one-on-one support. This class is open to people of all genders, bikes and helmets provided for duration of the workshop, registration required.

If you cannot yet ride independently across a parking lot, please do not register for this clinic. Our Basic Skills class is more appropriate.

This Saturday, March 28, 2026, Boston’s best youth spellers in grades four through seven will compete in the 18th annual BCYF Citywide Spelling Bee hosted by Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF), the City of Boston's largest youth and human service agency.  The winner will go on to represent Boston in the Scripps National Spelling Bee, the nation's largest and longest-running spelling bee, in Washington, D.C. in May. There will be a brief speaking program before the start of the Bee where all spellers will receive participation medals.

 Last year, the Bee went 16 rounds plus one final and one championship round. The 13 year-old champion, Sapna Malhotra, won by spelling "Senecio” correctly. The Bee’s longtime sponsor is the Boston Bruins Foundation.

Come join us for an evening of celebration, community, and connection to mark the end of our FY25 Technical Assistance Vendor Contracts and highlight the work completed in this technical assistance round. Including projects from our traditional technical assistance offerings and BECMA's Cannabis Business Empowerment Program.

This event is open to all, especially Boston Cannabis Equity applicants and businesses. It's a great opportunity to network with and meet this year's technical assistance vendors, and learn how their expertise can help your cannabis business grow.

If you're interested in attending, RSVP using the link below. We look forward to celebrating with you!
