    Overview

    On The Rise is a day program in Boston, MA that is uniquely effective at working with homeless and formerly-homeless women who do not fit the requirements of other programs.

    There is no age requirement to volunteer; we do our best to accommodate all ages with projects that are meaningful. Children under 15 should be accompanied by an adult.

    On The Rise invites groups and individuals to volunteer on the first Saturday of the month. Your efforts help preserve a dignified space for the women to enjoy each day. We will work on various projects in and around our beautiful home that may include:

    • General grounds clean-up
    • Garden work
    • Sorting and organizing clothing
    • Arts and crafts
    • Preparation for special events
    • Sorting toiletries
    • Research and computer work
    • Handy work
    • Small cooking projects, and other "to do’s" that are needed as the seasons change.
