Volunteer With Us

Volunteers are the heart of everything we do. Your kindness, commitment, and passion help us support those experiencing homelessness in Cambridge.

In return, we offer a safe, welcoming space where you can grow, connect, and feel valued.

Whether you are 18 or 80, experienced or just starting out, your time and skills can change lives, including your own. There is a place for you at It Takes A City.

Due to the nature of our work, we are unable to offer volunteer opportunities to anyone under 18.
