The Mary A. Longtin C3 Center could not be more excited to have been selected by the Swearer Center‘s Community Advisory Board to receive one of three $2500 awards!
Each year the Swearer Center‘s Community Advisory Board (CAB) invites individuals and community-based agencies in Rhode Island to submit nominations for one of three awards recognizing organizational work in one or more of the following focus areas: Community Joy and Resilience, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Anti-Racist Practice, and lastly, Impact and Access for Vulnerable Rhode Islanders. This year, our very own C3 Center accepted the award for Community Joy and Resilience!
Thank you so much for this honor! NeighborWorks Blackstone River Valley is thrilled to have been selected and grateful for the investment in the incredible work our team does every day with Woonsocket youth at the C3 Center.”

In addition to a cash award of $2,500, moving forward the Swearer Center will collaborate with recipients to highlight and promote their work through the Center’s various communications channels. The goal of these awards is to highlight and support the work of agencies in the public and social sectors that are working to move the needle in key areas. Awarded on April 26 at Brown University, the Swearer Center award was proudly accepted by Tanisha on behalf of NWBRV and the C3 Center.
I’m very happy to receive this award for the C3 Center! It will help with organizing a fun and engaging activity for the youth.”
NWBRV Senior Site Coordinator, Tanisha Dennis
Here at NWBRV we recognize the need for educational development, social interaction and child care to be consistently provided to our youth and their families, even during school recesses. We’re proud to have the resources that allow us to provide Woonsocket school aged youth a safe environment. The Mary A. Longtin C3 Center, which caters to youth in middle school and high school in Woonsocket and nearby communities, provides free enrollment.
Their programs allow myself and my husband the freedom to work without concern of what our child is doing, where she is, is she safe, is she supervised. These programs provide peace of mind while also knowing she is actually learning.”
