Just-A-Start hosted the grand opening of its new Economic Mobility Hub at Rindge Commons, marking a significant milestone in the organization’s efforts to provide critical resources to low- and moderate-income families in Cambridge. The Economic Mobility Hub at Rindge Commons is a 70,000-square-foot, six-story, mixed-use building located at the intersection of Rindge Avenue and Alewife Brook Parkway.
Just-A-Start’s Biomedical Careers Training Program has received six MLSC grants totaling more than $1.1 million. The recent investment in the new bioscience lab totals $941,161, making the MLSC the single largest financial contributor to the Economic Mobility Hub. MLSC funding enabled Just-A-Start to build out and outfit the state-of-the-art lab which allowed the community development corporation to double the number of students in each cohort and offer new shorter-term and advanced alumni programming.
