In the years that lifelong Allston-Brighton resident Maria Tempesta has worked at the Jackson Mann Community Center, she remembers a time when the city of Boston provided the center with large amounts of funding for the afterschool programs she ran.
Boston Centers for Youth and Families held a community meeting Thursday for the residents of Allston and Brighton to discuss options for a new community center. The meeting contributes to a current study put in place, where BCYF will examine the Jackson Mann Community Center and create plans for its improvement or complete replacement.
