About Boston Cares

Boston Cares is Greater Boston's leading volunteer organization, annually mobilizing 25,000 volunteers through projects that strengthen communities and improve the lives of thousands.

We build relationships with nonprofits and schools with needs that be fulfilled by flexibly scheduled teams of volunteers; and then we recruit, train and lead reliable and enthusiastic groups of volunteers who get the job done.  Our year-round volunteer programs and seasonal signature days of service engage adults of all ages, children & teens, and corporate partners.
