Roxbury-Dorchester Power In Community
Power in Community
The neighborhoods of Roxbury and Dorchester are often described by what is broken or what is lacking,
and the gifts of the people of our neighborhoods are often overlooked.
We believe that the greatest gift of our community is the people!
We believe that people working together have more POWER than people working independently!
We believe that when the people of the community work together there is POWER!
Our Mission
The mission of Roxbury-Dorchester Power In Community (RD-PIC) is to organize the congregations of RD-PIC in order to connect the churches and neighborhoods more deeply to each other. Through shared action, we will strengthen our community and build resilience such that our elders are more empowered and our immigrant neighbors are upheld as valuable contributors to the community. Our main avenues of connecting are through Senior Engagement, Immigrant Engagement, and a trauma healing program called "Can We Talk?".

The work of RD-PIC is overseen by an Executive Council made up of clergy and members of the founding congregations and the Executive Director. The work of RD-PIC is carried out by volunteers from the congregations and through leveraging partnerships like the one with the Black Ministerial Alliance.
