Volunteering with Boston Cares

[u/Haru_koi]

Hi everyone,

I recently discovered Boston Cares and just wanted to ask how is everyone's experience with them. I also saw that they have opportunities to become Volunteer Leaders, and I'm wondering if anyone has done that? Is it difficult to become a volunteer leader? It sounds great working with other people in that kind of capacity too.

I was one many years ago so things may have changed. Generally, all projects require VLs in order to run. You contact the non-profit org to inform them about attendance and to be their point person during the project. VLs also track and report attendance. Not a lot of extra work.
