We understand the importance of community and the power of compassion. As a 100% volunteer-run program, we are committed to supporting vulnerable individuals and families in Cambridge, MA.

YouthBuild Just A Start is a full-time, comprehensive youth workforce development program for ages 16-24 in the Boston Metro North region.

Our program is a neighborhood gathering place where housed and unhoused neighbors can mingle and get acquainted in a low-key, judgment-free setting.

We are a paid job readiness training program for teens and young adults.

MPF is recruiting Fellows to lead youth programs for youth in grades 6-12 at one of our partner schools, city agencies, and non-profits across Massachusetts! Apply today!

We offer a wide inventory of adult professional outfits and children's clothing and resources.

We will fix up 800+ donated bicycles and give them to qualified Cambridge residents. With bicycles people will also receive a bike lock, helmet, and lights.

Residents can apply for a new bicycle voucher (to buy from participating shops). Those selected can choose a pedal bike, e-bike, e-cargo bike, adaptive bicycle or electric wheelchair attachment.

We offer lots of free events throughout the year for people of all ages with a love of learning!

The Literacy Project offers free classes in English conversation, job hunting and resume writing.
