One of the most comprehensive non-profit providers of social services in Massachusetts, we offer over 70 programs across more than 20 locations throughout Greater Boston, with 450 employees serving thousands of individuals and families annually within the four core areas of Basic Needs, Family & Youth Services, Refugee & Immigrant Services, and Adult Education & Workforce Development. ​​

The Brockton English Transcultural Center (ETC) provides morning and evening ESOL classes to adults in the Brockton community. Students are placed in one of three levels, from beginners learning basic communication skills to advanced learners strengthening their English for work, education, and everyday life. Volunteers support instructors and help create a welcoming, encouraging environment where students can build confidence and succeed.

A CORI (Criminal Offender Record Information) background check is required for all volunteers. The form can be completed in person on your first day of service. Please bring a valid government-issued photo ID to verify your identity and complete the process.  

All volunteers are required to complete the volunteer waiver and review the volunteer policies prior to serving.
