"building the capacity of public media and technology organizations"
The PSO ended up being pretty informative, despite it not being a CTC orientation. The facilitators allowed a lot of discussion/conversation which I appreciated.
Everyone at the Hyde Sq. Task Force is pretty cool so far. Official work won't be starting till this coming week , so I don't really have any definite impressions. I'm excited to be working on music with kids.

Hey Wes. Welcome to the site and the CTC VISTA Project. For those who might not be familiar with Hyde Square Task Force and your program, what is the Task Force and what kind of music project are you going to be working on with the kids?

Good questions... The Hyde Square Task Force does community development/social services (after school programs, community events etc.), mainly focusing on Hyde Square, but also JP and other parts of Boston. The music stuff won't be happening till September, but the Task Force plans on building a music clubhouse with instruments and recording equipment. My job will probably involve finding software that kids can use to record or make beats. My main job though will be evaluating software and hardware for the rest of the office and seeing what people here need to make things run more efficiently.
