Somerville Positive Forces (SPF)

Make a Difference! Become a Youth Leader for Somerville Positive Forces (SPF)

We are looking for energetic high school youth and middle-school youth leaders,  to serve as leaders as part of a team that addresses community issues related to underage drinking, drug use, and bullying.

Team & Training

All STRN team members are trained in school and community-based Post-Traumatic Stress Management (PTSM) which focuses on the mental, physical, behavioral and emotional impact of trauma on youth. We offer several free 3-day trainings a year in basic PTSM to Somerville community members through the Children's Trauma Recovery Foundation, as well as advanced training and skills practice for those who have taken PTSM.

Preventing a Rodent Issue

How can I prevent rats from becoming a problem on my property?

To control rodents you must remove easy access to the things they need to survive: food, shelter, and water. Like any animal, rats live in a neighborhood because they can find the resources that they need. Removal of these resources is necessary for the prevention and long-term reduction of rodent activity.

Please submit website feedback using this form. Be sure to include:

A description of the issue (if any)
A link to the affected pages
