Managing Inventory with Youth at More than Words - Boston
Work alongside youth to help manage the on-line and retail bookselling. Volunteers will help with sorting and entering books, filling orders, and managing the storefront. More Than Words is a nonprofit social enterprise that empowers youth who are in the foster care system, court involved, homeless, or out of school to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business.
T-Accessible: Red Line (Broadway)
This opportunity is open to Boston Cares members who have attended an orientation.
About More Than Words:
More Than Words began as an online bookselling training program for youth in DCF custody in 2004 and opened its vibrant bookstore on Moody St in Waltham in 2005 and added its Starbucks coffee bar in 2008. MTW replicated its model in the South End of Boston in 2011, thereby doubling the number of youth served annually. MTW believes that when system-involved youth are challenged with authentic and increasing responsibilities in a business setting, and are given high expectations and a culture of support, they can and will address personal barriers to success, create concrete action plans for their lives, and become contributing members of society.
