Young Leaders Program
If you are a young professional, we invite you to participate in the Caritas Young Leader Program, where you can support the work of Caritas Communities through fundraisers, volunteer activities, drives and networking opportunities.
As a result of the enthusiastic volunteer leadership, the Young Leaders Welcome Home Basket program was born. For many of our residents coming directly from homelessness or the shelter system, these baskets provide the essential items to move in with dignity. The basket includes bedding, towels, personal hygiene, kitchen items, and a meal kit to help settle in a new home. Because of the generosity of our Young Leaders, these residents can begin to rebuild their self-esteem.
The enthusiasm and skills that you, the next generation of community leaders, bring to Caritas is making a big impact on improving the lives of your neighbors in need. Young Leader activities are designed to meet the objectives of the Caritas Mission, benefit our residents, and provide opportunities to connect with other young professionals committed to ending homelessness in Greater Boston. Join us in building a better world.
