Helpful Reminders

We are unable to accommodate volunteers for partial days because the project teams and scope are built around a seven-hour workday.

If you have any questions on the day of service, look for signs and/or find the volunteers wearing the orange AEC Cares T-shirts.

If you take photos or videos during the day, be sure to use the hashtag #ProjectBoston.

Please note that we are only renovating parts of the Teen Center in the basement and on the First Floor. Please stay within those parts and do not travel to other areas within the Teen Center.

While volunteering, we ask that you treat any Catholic Charities Boston staff members with courtesy and respect.

As in all cities, please practice safety by remaining aware of your surroundings and traveling in groups.

Please do not bring a purse, backpack, or personal items unless it is a small item that you could comfortably wear all day and get dirty. We do not have an area available to safely store personal items.

Parking Information

If you are planning to drive, there is limited parking available. If possible, please plan to take an Uber, Lyft, or taxi to the project site.

Thank you again for volunteering, it's going to be a fabulous day of service! Please reach out to info@aeccares.com with any questions or concerns.
