nbCC Events for the Summer!

By Berkshires Macaroni Kid June 3, 2024

The Northern Berkshire Community Coalition in North Adams, otherwise known as nbCC is on a mission to be a catalyst for a healthy, empowered and engaged community. nbCC is committed to support families with children 0-18 in north Berkshire, striving to create a safe and welcoming space for parents and guardians to find information, resources, and support to help them address the needs and concerns they have and help them meet the demands of parenting children today. They offer support services, skill building workshops, support groups, family fun events and more. nbCC also brings together diverse groups of youth through initiatives that allow them to express themselves while empowering them to make their own, healthy decisions, become engaged in their communities, and become leaders their own lives, providing a safe space for local youth to realize the wide array of attributes they possess, and empower them to build on these strengths and connect with their community.

Here are some of the events and programming taking place this summer through nbCC:
