We train volunteers for the Allies for Immigrants: ESOL Corps, which we run in partnership with Boston Cares. Volunteers support a classroom teacher, facilitate a small group in an integrated ESOL/technology skills course, lead a conversation group or citizenship class, tutor a student one-on-one, or coordinate Allies for Immigrants tutors at a program.
Opportunities in development include: Fundraising/Grants, Project/Board Management, Event Organizer.
Help fight obesity by working with kids either after-school or during the summer. Have fun while you help implement activities and games that will keep kids active and off the streets.
Attend medical appointments with patients who need assistance. Appointments may be at EBNHC or at other sites.
Share time with an elder in their home. Chatting, playing cards, or just being there brings much-needed companionship to someone who may be alone or feeling isolated.
Be a child’s role model to help with school tutoring or be someone to talk to. Share your time and expertise!
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.
Help us with many of our most important tasks, including direct cat care such as providing food and water, scooping litter, sweeping, disinfecting, laundry, and other duties. Indirect cat care and administrative tasks may also be assigned. We’re looking for hardworking and reliable people between the hours of 8–10am.
We often need help with other areas such as administration, event planning, fundraising, community outreach, yard work and maintenance, writing, and marketing. If you’d like to help in any of those areas, we’d love to have you volunteer with us.
