Our programs are on a sliding scale, with no one turned away due to lack of funds. Additionally, we partner with Mass Cultural Council on the Card to Culture program, which specifically offers 50% discounts on Boston Workers Circle programs to EBT, WIC, and ConnectorCare cardholders. Please check off the “Card to Culture” box on registration forms for participating events, and your 50% discount will be automatically calculated. We offer Card to Culture discounts on these programs: Taste of Yiddish classes, Yiddish Language classes, Adult Education Classes, Shule/Sunday School, TASC/Teen Program, ABV/Yiddish Chorus dues, Gragger/Young Adult Purim Party, Passover Seder, and other cultural events throughout the year. Not valid for special or ad hoc events and fundraisers.
