Community Announcements

Learning Center Volunteers

Volunteer opportunity in East Cambridge: The Learning Center in East Cambridge is looking for volunteers to tutor kids in Grades 6, 7, and 8. These students are singled out by teachers for special help—which means none of these are students who could afford private tutoring. The Learning Center is held on Wednesdays from 3:00 to 4:15 starting on December 4 and the commitment for volunteers lasts until May 6. To learn more, you can see their flyer or contact Julie Croston from Cambridge School Volunteers, Inc.

Y2Y Shelter

Y2Y is a youth shelter in Harvard Square serving young adults experiencing homelessness. They are staffed primarily by students and volunteers. They are currently looking for volunteers for the winter break to help out when some of our student volunteers go home for the holidays. They are currently very understaffed for the holiday season and volunteering in any capacity would be an immense help to those we serve. Click here for more information or contact Jacob Heart, the Y2Y Community Engagement Director, to learn more.
