We are Project Blackbirrd.
Our Mission
To be the best place to find the latest information on volunteerism in the arts throughout New England. This includes opportunity listings, checklists, how-to guides, and more. We are especially interested in cultivating future arts leaders.
We are committed to supporting volunteers of all ages and experience.
Our Story
This all started with a simple question: why is it so hard to find quality volunteer opportunities nearby? The art and design organizations that have given so much to my community have suffered post-pandemic and this initiative was created to help sustain these vital organizations.
Our
Values
Transparency
Removing silos and making it easier for people to participate in activities they enjoy with organizations they love is all about access to information—especially in volunteer-led organizations. We promise to share only the best, vetted, trusted, resources that will make your volunteer hours easier.
Innovation
Using technology to help drive progress whenever and wherever possible. These tools should never be intimidating to new learners, and we strive to provide training and education to make life easier. Using technology alongside more traditional methods will only make us stronger
Compassion
We’re here because we want to help. We understand that volunteering with a busy life can be stressful and we are here to help reduce that anxiety by helping you build meaningful connections and systems.
Joy
We’re here because we love what we do and hope you will as well. We will find joy and happiness wherever we can and celebrate all our successes. Here you are welcomed and loved.
