Volunteer with One Brick Boston - Tech Goes Home Summer Celebration

Save to Favorites

Event Description: RSVP on our website: https://onebrick.org/node/2364803

Help out at this celebratory morning with hundreds of families from across Boston and beyond who have taken a TGH digital skills course, secured a much-needed computer, and connected to affordable Internet. The Tech Goes Home Summer Celebration is fun for the whole family! Our Tech Goes Home community helps participants gain access to the skills, hardware, and access needed for 21st century success. 75% of our participants have household incomes under $20,000, and 45% have a primary language that is not English. In prior years we have held a more formal graduation for students at Faneuil Hall. While nice, we received overwhelming feedback from graduates that they would prefer a family-friendly activity. Our Summer Celebration started in 2017 and has been a huge success so far. Our goal is to stay connected with graduates and encourage them to urge family and friends to sign up for free classes.

Where to Meet:

Please meet in the Lacrosse Field #1 at Joe Moakley Park, near Carson Beach. Look for the big group of pop-up tens in the middle of the park. The One Brick event manager will provide more details closer to the date of the event.

Joe Moakley Park is a short walk from the MBTA Red Line (JFK/UMass) and many bus lines. It's also across from Carson Beach so you can enjoy some sun and sand once you are done volunteering. It is recommended you use public transportation as local parking is extremely limited, as the event is near a popular beach.
