Future In Sight is currently seeking volunteers to participate as a member of one of its 3 Regional Advisory Committees. These three Advisory Committees meet once a month to raise our profile and help expand services to a growing market, despite limited resources. Through these committees, the members act as ambassadors for the organization by…
PetPals are canine and feline volunteers (and their owners) who visit elderly residents in long-term care facilities. The PetPals volunteers are screened, trained and matched with one of 36 sites in metro Boston. These teams bring the “healing power of pets” to over 650 elders every week.
MusicWorks brings music to isolated elders in Jamaica Plain. We match volunteers with elders to meet weekly or biweekly. Volunteers assist elders in listening to music they love, and provide friendship through shared enjoyment of music.
We offer a host of volunteer opportunities at our greenhouse, through hands-on-learning, or by partnering with community groups on a variety of sustainable projects. Build, Construct, Operate, Grow. Whether you just want to help out for a few hours or want to participate on a regular schedule, we value your engagement.
We engage volunteer providers, nurses, and other health care professionals to supplement the work of our staff. The number we can accept is limited by space and insurance constraints, but if you are interested we would like to hear from you.
Work alongside staff to ensure day-to-day tasks run smoothly, allowing greater outreach and services to clients. Call patients to confirm appointments, scan documents, file, enter data, etc.
Practice dentistry with Families First. Depending on needs, you may see patients onsite at the Dental Center or in the community on the Mobile Dental Van. Must be currently licensed to practice, background checks, and more.
Care for and have fun with children while their parents/guardians are in parenting class, have a doctor’s appointment, or studying for English class or GED program.
Help with an evening program that is geared towards families who are facing homelessness and/or other significant stresses. Assist the coordinator with food activity prep & clean-up. Volunteer groups can facilitate the activity portion of the night’s program for the children. If planned in advance, groups can create their own creative activities.
Volunteers can assist staff with various tasks during and after the evening intake period at our individual emergency shelters in Quincy and Brockton. Direct Care is ideal for individual adults age 18 and older who feel comfortable interacting directly with the homeless population. Direct Care volunteers assist between the hours of 4 and 6 pm.
