Rural Neighborhoods Celebrates NeighborWorks Week

Posted June 21, 2016

Mainster Building

Mainster Building

More than 80 guests and elected officials joined respected activist Steven Mainster to dedicate Rural Neighborhoods’ new 4,700 square foot after-school center at Everglades Village in June.  The grand opening of the new Steven Mainster Learning Center marked our 2016 NeighborWorks Week celebration.  The new building will host Centro Campesino-Farmworker Center’s YouthPride after-school program serving more than 70 elementary and middle-school students.

It’s a fitting tribute to Steven Mainster’s achievements as the founding director of CCFC and a board member of Rural Neighborhoods.  He began his career as a teacher in upstate New York before answering a call to undertake a 40-year fight for social and economic justice on behalf of migrant and seasonal farmworkers.
