Afterschool (Every Day), Volunteering

We work with 175+ diverse agencies in Cambridge and beyond. These agencies rely on community volunteers to help deliver services, support operations, or lead on their boards of directors.

We provide one-to-one mentoring to youth and adults with disabilities to reach their full potential.

The Helpline is the only statewide, public resource for finding substance abuse treatment and recovery services.

We provide language and interpretation classes, youth programs, multicultural community events, and other supports for immigrant families.

We offer an exciting, critical afterschool program for children. It is a place where they can try new things or explore subjects in interactive, student-centered ways.

We offer safe and fun programs for pre-teens, middle schoolers, and teens to connect with peers, build leadership skills, and participate in sports, arts, and activities in an inclusive environment. 

Cambridge residents with children in grades K-8 apply to DHSP Afterschool Programs through this lottery application. The lottery opens in April for the coming school year.

Assist older adults with transportation to and from clinics so that they can keep much-needed medical appointments for screenings and treatments. This role is in high demand!
