How to Apply to Volunteer

My time and work is valued and supported by the organization and the people we serve.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with BARCC. We accept volunteers and provide training at regular intervals throughout the year.

To get started in one of our direct-service positions, please:
  • complete our volunteer application and email it to ,
  • then for and attend one of our information and interview sessions at our offices in Cambridge.


Attendance at one of our information and interview sessions is mandatory for anyone wishing to apply for a direct service position. The next sessions will be held on September 15 and 20 at our Cambridge office. These sessions are designed so that you can hear more about each of our programs and speak with BARCC staff and current volunteers. At the end of the meeting, you will be interviewed by a BARCC staff member or volunteer.

The next volunteer training will be held every Saturday (9am-4pm) and Wednesday (6pm-9pm) in October, save October 9, at our Boston office.

For non-direct service positions, please send a cover letter and resume. Cover letters should include the position you are applying for, availability (start/end dates, hours, days, etc.), supervision requirements (hours and credentials of supervisor needed) and information regarding your interest in the position.
