BOSTON FOURISH 2025
Thursday, October 30 | Local 103 IBEW, Dorchester, MA
REGISTRATION IS OPEN
DISCOUNTED STUDENT & GROUP RATES AVAILABLE
Every year, Boston Flourish brings together hundreds of leaders, neighbors, and changemakers who believe in building a more connected, compassionate, and flourishing city. This year’s theme, “A Story Unfolding: It Starts With Us,”invites us to see our shared work as part of a larger story—one still being written through the ways we serve, lead, and stand together.
We’ll explore four key topics shaping the future of Boston:
-
Migrant Care & Solidarity
How can we strengthen belonging across borders and backgrounds? This conversation centers the dignity and stories of new Bostonians and the communities welcoming them.
-
Next Gen Engagement
What does faith mean to a generation raised on pressure? Together, we’ll explore how churches and organizations can respond to Gen Z’s longing for authenticity, meaning, and mental well-being.
-
Trauma Healing
Boston’s youth and families are carrying unseen burdens. We’ll highlight the power of collaboration among social workers, educators, and faith communities to create pathways for healing.
-
Civic Action
Real change happens when everyday people step into leadership. This track focuses on equipping individuals and organizations to advocate for justice, shape policy, and foster civic participation across our city.
