The Bay Cove Board of Advocates is a volunteer group that plays a critical role in the success of our agency. The Board of Advocates was envisioned as a group of individuals—knowledgeable about and supportive of Bay Cove’s programs and services—who could help increase the agency’s viability and visibility in the community-at-large.

Sample volunteer projects include: landscaping and yard clean-up at one of our 175 programs, interior painting at one of our many residential or day programs, or cooking with CASPAR (prepare and serve a meal to guests at our homeless shelter in Cambridge).

The Young Professional Advocates are a group of people 21-35 years of age who are interested in meeting other socially-minded individuals. This group’s philosophy is that charity does not have to feel like an obligation. Their meetings are productive but also fun, often taking place at a bowling alley or over a pizza party.

Some of the ways you can help by include: joining our Networking Outreach Committee that discusses job opportunities for Communitas job seekers, teaching employment skills, or employing an intern at your place of business.
