In support of our mission to ensure young people succeed, Boston Cares is looking for 10-15 middle and high school students with a demonstrated commitment to community service our Teen Advisory Council (TAC).  Under the Youth & Family Coordinator, members of the Teen Advisory Council will meet on a monthly basis over the course of six months to plan a service project that addresses a community need and will be implemented by volunteers at Global  Youth Service Day in April. TAC is the perfect opportunity for young volunteers to make a manageable, long-term commitment to service, meet with like-minded individuals, and create a project that gives kids and teens between the ages of 5-17 an opportunity to volunteer.
