Proudly serving the greater Boston metropolitan area from our base in historic Sudbury. Our central location allows us to connect with communities throughout Eastern Massachusetts while maintaining strong roots in our local area.
Our Mission
Serving Together, Growing Together
This simple yet powerful mission statement captures the heart of everything we do. When children serve their community alongside their peers, they don't just help others – they discover their own potential, build lasting friendships, and develop the confidence to become tomorrow's leaders.
What We Do
Kids Serving Kids Boston encourages children throughout the Boston area to participate in meaningful service projects and community outreach initiatives. We believe that when young people engage in service, they develop essential life skills while making a tangible difference in their neighborhoods.
Our organization fosters leadership development and social responsibility through hands-on volunteer opportunities designed specifically for children and teens. From food drives to environmental cleanups, mentoring programs to community gardens, we create spaces where young people can discover their passion for service while building character and empathy.
Our Core Programs
Community Service Projects
Regular volunteer opportunities including food bank assistance, park cleanups, and supporting local shelters. These projects give children direct experience helping their neighbors while learning about community needs and solutions.
Youth Leadership Development
Training programs that help young people develop communication skills, project planning abilities, and confidence. Our leadership workshops prepare children to organize their own service initiatives and inspire their peers.
Community Outreach
Partnerships with local schools, community centers, and other nonprofits to expand our reach and impact. We work collaboratively to identify needs and create sustainable solutions that benefit the entire Boston area.

Why Youth Service Matters
Research consistently shows that children who participate in community service develop stronger academic performance, improved social skills, and greater civic engagement as adults. When young people see firsthand how their actions can improve their community, they develop a lifelong commitment to making a positive difference.
Our approach recognizes that children are not just future leaders – they are current community members with valuable perspectives and tremendous energy for positive change. By creating age-appropriate service opportunities, we help children understand their role in building stronger, more connected neighborhoods.
