Boston Shines 365
Citywide Neighborhood Clean Up & Community Service Volunteer Program
 

Mayor Menino's year-round neighborhood clean up and community service program, Boston Shines 365, provides the tools and materials to help volunteers successfully complete projects in every neighborhood in Boston.

Let us help you organize a neighborhood clean-up or a day of community service for your co-workers. Join us and paint a community center, plant flowers, sweep, rake and pick up trash to make our communities more beautiful.

For the past five years, over 5,000 volunteers have come together for two days in the spring to participate in a citywide clean up event. Now volunteers have the opportunity to participate in projects 365 days a year.

To find out more about getting involved in any of the following events, please contact Allison Rogers.
