Public Benefits and Community Assistance

We bring together students from Harvard College and surrounding universities with kids from Cambridge's different neighborhoods.

The CLC offers five levels of English conversation, grammar, reading, and writing classes for Cambridge residents. There are daytime and evening classes. We do not offer online-only classes.

We visit moms and dads of young children at a convenient location to share information about early literacy development, talking and reading with children, and community resources.

Our hotline helps prevent suicide by giving free and confidential support for people in distress, prevention and crisis resources for you and loved ones, and best practices for professionals.
