On
February 1, 2017 eight female students from Diman
Regional and Durfee High Schools attended
the first of several Women Action Voices Empowerment (WAVE) group meetings
that will be inviting women community leaders as special guests. City
Councilor Linda was the first of those guests, and she spoke about growing
up in Fall River, her employment experiences, and her leadership role in
the City Council. The students then had the opportunity to ask questions
of Ms. Pereira. The
WAVE group is a project of United
Neighbors of Fall River and Partners and
is led by SCI
Volunteer Jay Wong and Diman
Regional Adjustment Counselor Michaela
Hetzler. The group teaches health, guidance, advocacy, empowerment and
academic support to participants. Click here for an
