Boston Volunteer Program for Teens
Boston is known as the Cradle of Liberty, the City of Champions or Beantown. Immerse yourself in this bustling U.S. city that is rich in history through impactful community welfare and youth leadership volunteer work. On this student community service program in Boston, teens will have the opportunity to mentor youth and provide positive guidance, and work with communities in need of family services. This Boston student tour uses a service-learning framework where our staff provides guidance and reflection on the impact of the work we do throughout the program and promotes the value of empathy and cultural sensitivity. By joining this program, you will help the community thrive.
This 8-day program is a portion of our longer 16 day Boston & Washington, D.C. Community Service program.
