Boston
Cares Youth & Family volunteering
program, more popularly know as BOOYAH!
(Boston Young Active Hands), was launched in 2004 to address the
skyrocketing interest in youth and
families to be engaged in community
service.
We believe that
volunteering starts at an early age.
While the majority of our BOOYAH! volunteers are
between 13-17 years old, opportunities
are available for families with children
and individual teens who are younger as
long as they meet project requirements.
For college students, please visit our
Campus Initiative page.
Projects range from building picnic
benches to packing back-to-school
supplies to removing invasive species
along the Charles River. The impact of
our volunteers' work create rippling
effects and lasting changes that
transform organizations, neighborhoods
and ultimately, individuals.
