Our mission

We offer structured coaching, material goods, and community connections to support parents as they activate their natural strengths and expand their knowledge, so children thrive from the start.
Opportunities

Weekly Inventory Sorting Opportunities

The boutique look of our space is an important aspect of our program and we are always in need of reliable volunteers to help us maintain our warm and inviting space. Volunteers help organize and prepare our inventory of infant and toddler clothing, toys, books and equipment while keeping our space organized and welcoming. This is a great opportunity for college students, retirees or stay-at-home parents. A minimum of two hours per visit is required.

About us

Room to Grow’s innovative program takes a two-generation, preventative, and strengths-based approach to providing comprehensive services for low-income families in Boston. Over the course of the first three years of their child’s development, families visit Room to Grow every three months to meet with their clinician. Through our individualized and holistic preventative approach, Room to Grow aims to help parents build enriching home environments to increase the probability that their children will later enter school ready to learn and continue on to meet their full potential in education, health, work, and citizenship.
