TeenLife LIVE! Community Service Fair & Expo

Students, parents, and teachers are invited to attend the fifth annual TeenLife LIVE! Community Service Fair & Expo in Greater Boston. It will take place on Sunday, February 12th from 12-4 pm at The Mall at Chestnut Hill in Chestnut Hill, MA.

Studies have shown that students who volunteer, experience benefits ranging from increased self-esteem to acquiring valuable job skills. Volunteer work is a critical component to a successful college application; therefore, it is no surprise that many middle and high school students are encouraged and even required to complete multiple hours of community service before graduation.

Meet face-to-face with representatives from local non-profits willing to engage teens as volunteers as well as representatives from other programs and services. Each student will receive a free copy of the 2012 Guide to Community Service in Greater Boston.
