Our Mission Statement
We are a Christian community development organization of committed staff and volunteers whose faith inspires us to engage actively in service to people and organizations in underserved neighborhoods of Boston.
We seek to renew urban neighborhoods physically, socially, and spiritually. We build mutually caring relationships with our neighbors. We partner with local churches, community groups, and service organizations to realize a shared vision for the neighborhood. The Boston Project invests in at-risk children and youth by providing programs that address their educational, social, and spiritual needs. The Boston Project assists low income homeowners and non-profit organizations by making urgent repairs and improvements to their properties.
We accomplish our mission by mobilizing, training, and equipping volunteers. We engage people of all ages from urban, suburban and rural communities in compassionate service characterized by giving to and receiving from those served.
We multiply our efforts by promoting leadership development. We cultivate neighborhood leadership amongst youth and adults to govern and direct our work. We provide staff training, internships, networking opportunities and technical assistance to individuals, groups and churches engaging in urban service ministries.
We thank the Black Ministerial Alliance for a recent technical assistance grant which helped The Boston Project Ministries' Board of Directors and staff clarify our mission. We also express great appreciation for Al Scott and Jane Ford from Ford-Scott Associates and Jeff Bass and Melanie Sorli from the Emmanual Gospel Center who invested a great deal of time and patience with us as our consultants.
