Corporate Volunteering

Boston Cares works with private companies of all sizes to engage employees in volunteer community service. These programs introduce employees to community service and provide critical support to our non-profit agency partners, while generating revenues that enable the staff and volunteers of Boston Cares to make a difference virtually every day of the year. Our signature corporate programs include:


Hands at Work

Boston Cares develops and delivers flexible, team-oriented volunteer experiences for companies large and small throughout the year. The program offers companies a flexible, efficient and professional means of mobilizing employees to make a positive difference in the community. Learn more


Corporate Volunteer Day

An outstanding day of corporate community service, harnessing the energy and enthusiasm of dozens of area companies and hundreds of volunteers every May. More than 190 companies and 7,000 employees have participated since the event was launched in 1997 by General Colin Powell. Learn more

As with our Calendar Program, corporate service projects vary in task and scope. We work with more than 100 non-profit agencies throughout greater Boston. Examples of corporate service projects include:

  • Landscaping, trail clearing and other beautification efforts at public parks
  • Planting or harvesting crops at community gardens that serve the hungry
  • Painting and fixing up youth facilities, summer camps and community centers
  • Serving meals at homeless shelters and soup kitchens
  • Inspecting and sorting donated clothing and other items
