    Overview

    Providing children with the basic essentials they need to be safe, ready to learn, and feel valued.

    This Boston-based community service opportunity is open to Middle and High school students. They will serve as ambassadors for Cradles to Crayons, while developing leadership skills in the areas of community organizing and volunteer service. Participating students commit to approximately 15-25 hours per session. Responsibilities include:

    • Supporting The Giving Factory staff during two volunteer shifts.
    • Increasing awareness of our mission by hosting a product collection drive or fundraiser in your own community.
    • Participating in an orientation, leadership development workshop, and giving a wrap-up presentation of their project outcomes.
    • Becoming an effective leader while developing new skills.

    The TLC program is run three times per year, in the Spring (March – May), Summer (June – August) and Fall (September – December).
