Volunteer Opportunities

Our Volunteer Program at Franciscan Children’s provides volunteers with the opportunity to truly make a difference and to be helping hands for our patients, students, families and staff. Whether you are playing games with children, cuddling infants in our medical rehabilitation programs, navigating visitors around campus, or giving parents a much-needed break, your generosity leaves a lasting impression on the Franciscan Children’s community.

Each year, we welcome amazing individuals, groups and organizations who generously dedicate their time and energy to our mission. We are grateful for their contributions that enable us to provide excellent care and education for children and families. As a volunteer, our goal is to assist you in finding a placement at Franciscan Children’s that best fits you!

Join our Volunteer Program in the convenient, accessible Brighton neighborhood of Boston. Learn how your talents can help… so every kid can!
