These dedicated office hours are led by Office of Small Business staff bi-weekly on Fridays.

Small Business Documentation Office Hours are designed to provide constituents with hands-on support with the documentation they need to receive assistance from the Office of Small Business. This is a designated space where constituents can receive individualized assistance rather than only reading written instructions provided.

The ReStore Boston Program within the Office of Small Business hosts bi-weekly ReStore Office Hours on Mondays from 10 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. If you have any interest in the ReStore Boston program as a business seeking design support services or as a contractor interested in providing services, we encourage you to attend.

Boston Park Rangers, Urban Wilds staff, and Parks employees will provide formal and informal discussions or tours during the hikes. Some hikes may be more focused on taking a walk in the park, while others may be more informational.

Memory cafés meet at a variety of places, including coffeehouses, museums, or community organizations. Each memory café is different. Some cafés invite guest artists, some offer education about memory changes. And some are just for relaxing and chatting. But, all cafés share one goal — to help guests feel comfortable and to know that they are not alone. Cafés are a place to talk with others who understand what you are going through. You can forget about your limitations and instead focus on your strengths.

West Roxbury Branch of the Boston Public Library

1961 Centre Street, West Roxbury
