Events and Trainings

Develop a deeper understanding of the dedicated nonprofits that serve our region by joining a MetroWest Insight Tour. At each stop participants hear directly from directors, employees, volunteers, and service recipients about the needs in the community, the challenges they face, the programs that provide assistance, and the impact of their services.

Our first 2012 Insight Tour features 4 family support organizations located in Waltham, and includes lunch at the Elephant Walk Restaurant. Consider joining us on:
