Volunteer Opportunities

The Community Day Center depends on hundreds of individuals, faith communities, schools and other groups to create a safe and caring environment for the men and women who come to the Day Center.


Volunteer Coordinator Rev. Karen Coleman "As the Volunteer Coordinator at the Day Center, volunteers have been an invaluable part of our program. We have provided guests with volunteer expertise in resume preparation, computer skills, job searches and housing assistance. It is wonderful to see how our volunteers touch the lives of our guests and our guest touch the lives of our volunteers." - Rev. Karen Coleman

When the Center is open, we invite community volunteers to spend time with our guests. If you are free in the afternoons, please consider a regular weekly or monthly commitment. Church or civic groups can take a day and rotate visits among themselves.

Here's what you can do for your neighbors who use the Center:

  • Spend time with the guests: visiting, chatting, playing games, doing art work.
  • Share skills such as computer expertise, drafting letters and resumes, filling in various forms and applications
  • Help staff to welcome newcomers, serve refreshments, direct activities

The Waltham Community Day Center is a project of the entire community. We need everyone's help. Spanish speakers are especially needed!

If you would like to volunteer, please call Karen at (781) 392-6311 or .
