Our Mission

Welcome to the Cambridge Women's Commission Community Conversation!
In late 2008, sixty Cambridge community stakeholders and policy and program leaders attended the
Women’s Data Workshop hosted by the Cambridge Women’s Commission.
Initial recommendations in five key areas were proposed:
Economic Issues, Older Women, Women’s Health, Women’s Safety, and Young Women/Girls.

We invite you to use this open forum to share thoughts, comments, ideas and questions about these recommendations and findings.

Older Women

Finding: A growing population of aging women will increase the number of elders looking for specific services from providers, such as the Senior Center, that are currently not offered.

Recommendation:

  • Target program expansion (and outreach) to specific elder populations – GLBT, grandparents raising grandchildren, etc.
  • Create better communication/outreach and develop enhanced programs for “active/well” seniors that include intellectual stimulation, physical activities (biking hiking, skiing, etc.)
