>> Pathway Technology Campus
An educational partnership between Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción (IBA) and Bunker Hill Community College; Pathway Technology Campus (PTC) provides low-income residents of the South End/Lower Roxbury neighborhood with opportunities in their own neighborhood to: complete their GED and take adult education classes; transition into and enroll in college-level classes; and participate in job readiness and workforce development training that opens “Pathways to Economic Self-Sufficiency.” Strong case management, free child care, direct connection to a community college and a three-pronged approach (life skills development, academic enrichment and workforce development) distinguish PTC from other programs.

>> Community Empowerment Program
IBA’s Community Empowerment Program empowers over 150 residents of the Villa Victoria affordable housing community to live healthier, more active, independent and fulfilling lives. IBA's innovative, caring, linguistically-appropriate and culturally targeted approach helps residents garner income maximization benefits, while offering holistic programming in the areas of health, arts, recreation and social services. A unique program characteristic is our integration of elders into the social fabric of the entire community and empowering them to shape the programming that they participate in.

For further information about the Community Empowerment Program, please contact Mirna Garcia at (617) 266-4050 x310 or mgarcia@iba-etc.org.
