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.
