Volunteers and interns are an integral part of Commonwealth Land Trust’s success in providing housing to vulnerable residents of Massachusetts. They serve in all of our locations, enhancing our operations and programs in countless ways. This is especially true in our communications department where volunteers have created logos, murals, videos, photo-audio projects, photographs, and writings supporting our agency.
