BOSTON VOLUNTEERS

Welcome to THE BOSTON VOLUNTEER FAMILY! We anticipate seeing you soon!

Hello! I am Glenn P DeRosa and recently took over as the Organizer here at the request and recommendation of some members. They recommended me because they knew me as organizer of other MeetUp groups asked me to help prevent this group from being shut down. Going forward we will continue to focus on volunteering and community service events. We will need your help to find opportunities for us to help out in and around the Boston area. Please feel free to reach out me with any questions, ideas or suggestions.

Below is some of the original lengthy Description, I will be updating this soon.

Some said it was impossible. Some said it couldn't be done. A way to organize and empower thousands of caring people to help fellow Bostonians in need. We do it in a no-hassle, no commitment way where folks can easily choose where, when and how they want to help.

When we started the Boston Volunteers, we bucked many trends… No mandatory training sessions for new people. No large corporate structures. No high costs. Simply a bunch of good-natured and hard working people wanting to make our little corner of the world a better place. We believe in better.

With nothing more than a word-of-mouth reputation and Meetup.com as a springboard, we’ve been able to gather up some of the coolest people around. We, the Boston Volunteers, have experienced an exponential and geometric growth. Who would have imagined that in the past several years we've have become more than 10,000 strong. A large group of good-hearted Boston Volunteers standing up and working for better!

We are incredibly grateful for all the volunteers who have become members. All you need to join is a caring heart and a willingness to share a little bit of your valuable time.

Join us and spend an evening a food bank, a Boston soup kitchen; help tutor a single mom so she can earn her GED; rebuild your neighborhood playground so kids can play safely; kayak and clean the parts of the Charles river to better our environment; build a home for a local family; spend music & dance time with the elderly. The variety is endless and refreshing. You choose where and when. Don't miss this easy opportunity to build community.

While the Boston Volunteers have earned a good reputation for having hard working and dependable folks, we're also known to have a pretty good time doing so. Beyond having fun while helping others, we also celebrate a variety of social events in local neighborhoods where we simply spend a little time relaxing and getting to know each other.

Volunteer enough times and you will make some meaningful and lasting friendships & relationships with some truly great people. We build growing and meaningful community. We often see each other at community volunteer events and frequently go to museums together. Please know that since day one, we have been an open and inclusive nonprofit community, where every volunteer- regardless of superficial differences is valued, respected and needed. Not only can you choose where and when you would like to volunteer, but also you are encouraged to bring new ideas and new volunteer opportunities to our attention. And if you have a passion and there's a need, we'll get you set up to lead your own volunteer event. We revere the can-do spirit.

Can you think of how we can better help people? Please share your thoughts and ideas.

Are you ready to partner with a community our like-minded folks as we help our neighbors in need? Set-out to make our city a better place for us all?
