About Us
Boston Cares is the largest volunteer agency in New England, a member of the Points of Light Global Network, and an award-winning leader in the volunteer engagement sector. Filling more than 20,000 volunteer spots annually in support of more than 150 Greater Boston schools and non-profit agencies, we offer a wide array of programs and opportunities that make it simple for you to volunteer no matter how busy your schedule. We believe volunteers transform communities through service and civic engagement.
Thirty-five years ago, seven young professionals gathered at Pizzeria UNO in Kenmore Square with a simple idea: there had to be a better way to connect people who wanted to help with organizations that needed volunteers. Their passion for community built Boston Cares and sparked a movement that today celebrates 1.5 million hours of service. Today, that community connection matters more than ever. As nonprofits face growing demand and Bostonians search for meaningful ways to connect and support one another, we're seeing record numbers of new volunteers step forward. Help power this next chapter with a gift to ensure Boston Cares can continue mobilizing volunteers, strengthening nonprofits, and bringing our community together for the next 35 years.
