We are immensely grateful for the many people who have helped Plummer Youth Promise achieve our mission by volunteering. These opportunities range from short-term commitments like helping with mailings or events, providing a birthday cake or meal for our youth at Winter Island, to seasonal opportunities like holiday gift drives, to long-term commitments, like mentoring a young person.
Stay up to date on our Volunteer Opportunities!
Volunteer Spotlight
Pauline and her friends meet and exchange coupons. The coupons help stretch the fixed incomes they all live on. Any coupons that are left Pauline takes and goes shopping for the kids in the group home in Salem.
At just 40, Pauline’s only son, Jason, passed away. She shares that coming into the kitchen with her coupon haul – which typically includes boxes and boxes of cereal, yogurts, oatmeal, mac and cheese, and more brings her joy and happy memories of when Jason was little.
She’ll spend some time in community with us in the kitchen and then we’ll fold up the bags, take them back to the car, and look forward to next Tuesday.
Donate Items
Thank you for thinking of Plummer Youth Promise for your donations! Donations help support the youth we serve and assist them in their day-to-day lives. A new jacket and pair of socks provide warmth during the cold winter months. A new duffle bag can keep their precious items safe. There’s a deep satisfaction in knowing that your actions are making a difference and the effect of your generosity can inspire others to give, creating a culture of giving and kindness.
Please contact us at info@plummeryouthpromise.org or 978-744-1099 x 116 to schedule a donation drop off. We kindly request that drop offs be arranged in advance with our team.

“Plummer Youth Promise is a great organization, and I am so happy to be a small part of it. I have other organizations that I support, but this is the only one where I feel a real connection. You play a big role in helping me feel connected.”
