Sibling Connections
Ways to help | Sibling Sundays VolunteerBoston, Lowell, Springfield: Spend one Sunday a month bringing siblings together for an activity in the community and lunch. You will transport and chaperone a sibling group to a fun event set up by Sibling Connections. Up to 30 siblings and 7-10 volunteers will enjoy ice skating, apple picking, alpine skiing and everything in between as a group!Sibling Connections Camp MAOne week each August we host up to 120 siblings (50+ sibling groups) and 75 volunteers for a wonderful week of camp in Western MA!Program InternWe are looking for a program intern to help run our Sibling Sundays and Weekend Retreats. For consideration, email [email protected].Weekend Retreats VolunteerThree times a year we hold a weekend retreat at winterized camps throughout MA. We bring 30-40 siblings (15-20 sibling groups) together to enjoy a typical weekend of meals and fun. Volunteers are not responsible for sibling transportation, but are there to spend quality time with the kids and help set up activities, eat meals with the group, etc. In 2020 we have retreats scheduled for February 21-23 (Groton), and April 24-26 (Berkshires). |

About us | Sibling Connections is the only organization in Massachusetts designed for the sole purpose of strengthening the sibling bond of children separated by foster care. While the sibling relationship is the longest and one of the most important relationships most people have in their lives, this is especially true for children who are removed from their families because of abuse or neglect. In many instances, a brother or sister might literally be the only constant relationship in a child’s life. |
