Boston Cares

Boston Cares mobilizes and trains individual and corporate volunteers who strengthen communities and improve the lives of people in need. We partner with schools and nonprofits with needs that can be filled by volunteer teams; then we recruit, train & lead reliable groups of volunteers who get the job done.

Boston Cares is a premier innovator of volunteer initiatives that are community responsive, impactful, and sustainable. Our work:

• Inspires more people to become volunteers;
• Builds capacity for nonprofits and companies to engage volunteers;
• Elevates community understanding of the importance and potential of volunteers; and
• Generates resources and support for volunteerism.

We envision a day when the practice of volunteering throughout Greater Boston is widespread and reflective of the rich diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and lifestyles of those who live and work in the communities we serve.
