Tyngsborough, Massachusetts
Community Organizations
A library fund that pays for museum passes and scholarships, a parent organization that works with two schools, a graduation committee run entirely by volunteers, and the town’s own television department. Every one of them takes help, and several are how a resident with no title at all ends up in the room.
Community Organizations
| Organization | What they do & contact |
|---|---|
| Friends of the Tyngsborough Public Library | Volunteers who fund library programs, run the semi-annual book sales, pay for the museum pass program, and award scholarships to graduating high school seniors. Membership is open and the dues are what pay for most of it. |
| Tyngsborough Parent Teacher Organization | Parents, guardians and teachers who work with the elementary and middle schools on programs and events that go beyond the classroom curriculum. It is advisory, which means its influence is the influence of people who show up. |
| Tyngsborough High School Grad Night | The volunteer committee that plans and pays for the substance-free all-night celebration each Tyngsborough High School class gets after graduation. It fundraises all year and it is run by families. |
| Tyngsborough Media | The town’s own public, education and government access department. It carries the Government channel on Verizon 29 and Comcast 8, the Education channel on Verizon 28 and Comcast 99, and the Public channel on Verizon 30, and it posts every meeting to video on demand. It takes local content from residents. |
| Greater Lowell Chamber of Commerce | The regional chamber that serves Tyngsborough businesses, and the organization the town’s own Business section points residents and business owners toward. |
