4Hours, 4Others, 4Boston

4Boston is the largest weekly service organization at Boston College. BC students commit to one year at one social service, health, or education placement, serving 4 hours per week and participating in one hour of group reflection. The aim of 4Boston is twofold:

1) to provide students with a significant extended urban service experience which is enriched by regular oppor

tunities for reflection on and analysis of the work in which they are engaging

2) to provide reliable, consistent assistance to Boston agencies which work with and on behalf of the city's poor and marginalized. Working among the poor, the ill, and the marginalized inevitably raises the universal questions of life's meaning, justice, and purpose, and the Judeo-Christian tradition offers rich resources for addressing these questions. However, people of all faiths (and of no particular religious affiliation) are welcome to participate in 4Boston. It is our firm belief that action without reflection risks despair and reflection without action risks irrelevance, and it is our explicit hope that 4Boston students will grow intellectually, morally, and spiritually through regular service to others and through disciplined reflection on that service.

We encourage 4Boston participants and Alumni to donate today, Tuesday March 12th, for and to support 4Boston, and our work connecting students with experiences across community partners in the Greater Boston area.

This year’s inaugural BC Giving Day invites the entire BC community (alumni, students, parents, friends, faculty, and staff) to unite for one day to make a gift to the areas of campus they are most passionate about. As our organization grows, so do our needs—it is our sincere hope that we can grow our support of the organizations we partner with, to provide financial support as well as our time. We challenge our 4Boston community to pledge 4dollars 4Boston, and give generously. For all current members reading this post, we ask you reach out to former 4Boston Volunteers who have shaped your experience, and invite them show their support.

To donate, please follow the link below, and designate your donation to University Mission & Ministry, writing in 4Boston as your preferred office:
