Another Great place to get your Volunteer on!…read more Contrary to the name, Pine Street Inn is not a top notch Maine Bead and Breakfast. It is a top notch Boston homeless shelter! (All the more better!) One of the few good things founded in 1969, Pine Street Inn provides a vast range of services: permanent supportive housing, temporary housing, job training, and (Particularly laudable) STREET OUTREACH to over 1000 homeless (or formerly homeless) each day. They offer a wide range of volunteer activities! Everything from Clinic Receptionist in their very effective health clinic to Food preparation in their superb dining faculty.Pine street is particulary good setting for volunteerism for Corporate Groups or Faith Based organizations. But here is a tip: If you do not do it as part of a group, bring a Volunteer buddy! It will make it more fun and you will get more done and get more out of it! Because that's the weird thing about volunteering: the volunteers are the ones who benefit the most! (and I DON'T mean from pocketing food from the cafeteria) Here is another tip: If you do bring a Volunteer buddy, bring some one more responsible then I tried to. Who cancelled on me THREE times! The last lame excuse: "There was a fire in my apartment!" When I had to report this to the coordinator as to why she didn't show up as planned, he quipped: "Well, Claude. I always knew your friend Sarah would do almost anything to get out of volunteering but I always thought she would draw the line at arson!"

If you're looking for a shelter with poor communication and unprofessional staff, this may be the…read moreplace for you. My experience was extremely frustrating. Several staff members came across as dismissive and rude, and I was given information about the shelter waitlist that later turned out to be inaccurate. When people are seeking shelter, they are often in vulnerable situations and deserve honesty, respect, and clear communication. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. And yes they are deleting reviews on google which is why I'm also on yelp lol.

West Roxbury

Located at the corner of St. Theresa's Avenue and Center Street, St. T's is about as West Roxbury…read moreas West Roxbury gets...for all the right reasons. It's not glitzy, its services don't offer a lot of flash or production values and and the place sometimes seems stuck 30 years ago. Maybe that's not a bad thing, and here's why... This is a parish and parish community that care deeply for each other. From the school, to the programs it sponsors for youths, families and its older members, St. Theresa's works to bring people together in a loving Christian way. The great thing is that its activities don't occur on a sporadic, occasional basis - they're happening all the time. Charity and love for one's neighbor is the rule, not the exception. At any time a visitor may see children learning about the Gospel in school as kids from a Scout troop put together a service project a few doors down from where a parish men's group is contacting a list of social service providers for a troubled family while other parishoners are working on a clothing drive for a homeless shelter in Boston. Meanwhile, in the midst of Masses, weddings, and funerals, the parish priests are constantly counseling people with a wide range of needs and visiting the sick and elderly. In an ideal Catholic community the parish is a vibrant hub of social and charitable activities and St. Theresa's is very much that in seemingly infinite ways. Probably the best test of a parish is how strongly the surrounding community shares its values. In their daily lives the people of the parish are an accurate reflection of the parish itself. Caring for each other, publicly or quietly, taking care of their neighbors, carrying out the message of Christ in their daily lives...people from St. Theresa's don't see that as remarkable, it's just the way things should be done. With a relatively small staff of priests serving a large community St. Theresa's offers a pretty straightforward, no-frills schedule of Masses. There are a couple of vigil Masses on Saturday, followed by four on Sunday, the last at noon. Consider yourself very lucky if you attend a Mass conducted by Rev. Raymond Helmick. A Jesuit, he is a deeply thoughtful preacher always with a fascinating insights into the Gospel. Some three decades ago St. Theresa's looked and sounded a lot busier than today. There were more Masses, higher attendance at services, more priests staffing the church, and many more social and activities for youths. Today it's a lot smaller, with fewer activities, lower attendance, and about two fewer priests than before. Though smaller it is still a place where people care for each other's spiritual and human needs. Like it was 30 plus years ago it is still a dominant part of the community and although smaller in size it is still a caring, loving parish.

I cannot say enough great things about this school. They have an amazing focus on academics but…read morealso enrich children in other areas with extra curricular activities that include dance, basketball, lego and book clubs, and more. I can't imagine my children would receive a more well rounded education elsewhere. The community surrounding the school is just as great. We have made lifelong friends with other families. An extremely high number of children test into exam schools no problem and attend high schools that include Latin, Latin Academy, and Roxbury Latin.
