Give a Day is a one day, group volunteer program.

You pick a day.  You pick a project.  You bring your team and complete a meaningful task in one day.  Projects will be selected based on your interests, talents, and resources. 

Most projects require no financial support from you.  Some do require in-kind donations. 

Please contact Margaret Lelakes at 781-829-1246 or click to email to match your team to our project.

    Based on the project, we may need five or six adults from your company or network who will pick a day, dress down, and complete a worthwhile task outside of the workplace.  We're looking for people who like to do a good job, can color in the lines, and have skill with hand tools.  For projects, we have classrooms that need painting, eight student residences that need minor repairs, landscaping projects (which is easy to imagine with 200+ acres).
