English for New Bostonians holds events throughout the year and frequently need volunteers to help support them in roles such as on-site registration, set-up and breakdown, and other logistics.
Direct Service is on-site volunteering. Direct service opportunities include but are not limited to: cooking and/or serving a meal, picking up and/or dropping off donations, working in our food pantry, cleaning, laundry, tutoring, doing craft projects with the children at our Family Shelter, and completing outdoor clean-up projects.
Indirect service includes off-site projects such as running food or supply drives, preparing and delivering meals, or putting together hygiene or other kits for our residents. Because of its scheduling flexibility, indirect service is ideal for youth groups, business teams, or other large groups.
