Student Organizations

Wellesley for Boston Care for the Homeless Program
The mission of Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP) is to ensure unconditionally equitable and dignified access to the highest quality health care for all individuals and families experiencing homelessness in our community.

Robogals
Driven by a bold vision, ROBOgals is committed to transforming the underrepresentation of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Through innovative initiatives, workshops, and mentorship programs, ROBOgals ignites a passion for STEM within young girls worldwide to engage and empower young women into engineering and related fields.

Wellesley Alzheimer’s Buddies
The Wellesley chapter of the National Alzheimer's Buddies is a group of volunteers that seek to create bonds and make friendships with Alzheimer's residents in a nearby memory care facility in order to alleviate the emotional and social distress associated with the disease.

Wellesley for Boston Children’s Hospital
Being able to volunteer at a clinic/hospital catered to children brings a new sense of gratitude to students, as we often lose sight of the big picture. The chance to play with kids with a calculated life expectancy allows students to appreciate their ability to learn and drives them to work harder after seeing how happy the patients are regardless of their health situation.

Other Opportunities

Filling more than 20,000 volunteer spots annually in support of more than 150 Greater Boston schools and non-profit agencies, we offer a wide array of programs and opportunities that make it simple for you to volunteer no matter how busy your schedule. We believe volunteers transform communities through service and civic engagement.

Resources

Our department has 4 mini vans that we lend out to students who want to get a group of 3+ students out to service experiences/opportunities. To take advantage of this opportunity, please reach out to the Civic Engagement team so we can find a driver for you. We will need the following information:

• Who?: How many people will be attending? Is anyone a certified van driver?
• Where?: Where will the group be going?
• What?: What do you plan on doing with your time off campus?
• When?:  Do you plan to go weekly or is this a one off event? How long will you be there?
