Put your intellectual muscle to work on our Board
We value the expertise and guidance from corporate partners who join our Board of Trustees or Board of Advisors. Use your industry and personal talent to serve youth from Boston’s most underserved neighborhoods.
Build your employees’ community engagement and civic participation
The Corporate Volunteer Program offers a deeply satisfying day of service for employees to engage in our mission by maintaining the island’s natural resources, trails and beaches. Service projects are intended for groups of up to 50 employees and can be scheduled from April through October.
