The City of Hartford Seeks Volunteers for COVID-19 Vaccination Effort

“Our team is calling residents and going door-to-door, but there’s nothing more effective than mobilizing our community as a whole to sign up their friends and family for the vaccine,” said Mayor Luke Bronin. 

All residents need is a phone, tablet, or computer with internet, and the City will conduct short trainings in English and Spanish on how to use the Calendly app to make vaccine appointments. The City will provide access to vaccine appointments for clinics operated by the Department of Health and Human Services as well as other providers in the city.
This Is My Hartford: Alyssa Haley

"There’s real beauty here in Hartford. It can be found here if you want to look for it—and it’s existed here for such a long time," says Born & Bred Founder Alyssa Haley.

The Hartford Public Library presents Hartford Poets: Past & Present beginning Monday, April 5. Each Monday evening in April, a Hartford-based poet will recite a poem from a Hartford poet who is no longer with us and whose work is part of the Hartford History Center’s collection. They will also read a poem they wrote inspired by the poet they read.
