BECOMING A VOLUNTEER
CCT relies on the talents of its volunteers to help its non-profit clients address challenging business issues. In return, volunteers enjoy knowing that their skills are assisting non-profits in doing meaningful work in the Boston community. Additionally, volunteers have the opportunity to learn about the world of non-profits, broaden and sharpen their skill sets, as well as network with and enjoy the camaraderie of other like-minded professionals. Please consider joining us for our next round of projects!
TIMELINE
The volunteer application typically opens in September. In November, we contact applicants with our short list of potential clients and project descriptions and ask you to indicate your top preferences. With this information, we determine final client and project selections and begin the team staffing process.
The final team formations are complete by mid-late December. Volunteers are notified of their project assignments by the end of Decemer. Project work begins in January and lasts through late May or early June.
