Each year, the Mayor’s Community Safety Team conducts engagements across the city preparing the “Summer Safety Plan”. In 2024, we heard from community members that they often felt out of the loop as far as  being informed about what was happening in their neighborhood once summer came around. 

As a direct response, the Community Safety Team began to organize Village Vibes. These events are meant to bring community members together in places central to the neighborhood, and by having City departments alongside neighborhood-specific groups, we can make sure residents are informed about everything from speedbumps to summer camps well ahead of time. 

Village Vibes are about bringing together community members, and uplifting from the sense of familiarity and trust that neighbors bring to continue to keep our neighborhoods safe and informed. 

If you'd like your organization to be represented at this event, sign up for Village Vibes in your neighborhood, submit your information via the Google Forms Link below.

The Senior Advisor for Community Safety is responsible for building a set of summer specific recommendations around the various aspects of community safety - namely engagement of community, along with efforts across the city prioritizing the intervention and prevention of violence. In 2022, Isaac Yablo engaged with communities across the city for the first-ever community focused Summer Safety Plan. In 2023, the Community Safety team hosted nearly 30 meetings in 9 neighborhoods to help prepare, preview and publish the plan. This spring, the Community Safety Team will host 10 meetings across the city to engage with residents and community organizations on what they’d like to see in this year’s Plan for a Safe, Healthy and Active Summer. If you have questions about these meetings or weren’t able to make it and would like notes, don’t hesitate to reach out to the Community Safety Team at 617-635-2802
