Event Description:

More Than Words empowers young people ages 16-21 who are court involved, homeless, in the foster care system, or out of school to take control of their lives by taking control of a business. We operate an online book business, as well as a brick-and-mortar bookstore and cafe on Moody Street in Waltham. (www.mtwyouth.org)

What we'll be doing:

Volunteers will have a youth-led tour of the business, and then work alongside youth in various projects to support the daily operations such as prescanning and sorting donated books and organizing store displays.

What you should know:

Street parking is available, but please read the signs about where parking is restricted. Limited, un-restricted parking is available on Cushing Street (off of Moody), past the first several spots where it says "Overnight parking permitted." Volunteers should wear comfortable clothing that they don't mind getting dirty--donations come in all sorts of conditions and our basement can be very dusty!

Where to Meet:

376 Moody Street, Waltham MA 02453
