BOSTON — ConstructConnect, a leading provider of software solutions for the construction industry and a presenting sponsor and founding partner of not-for-profit organization AEC Cares, has announced that this year’s project will benefit Catholic Charities Boston.
The charitable organization serves thousands of vulnerable individuals and families of all faiths and backgrounds across eastern Massachusetts, explains a release. On Wednesday, June 4, more than 100 volunteers will gather to renovate The Catholic Charities Teen Center at St. Peter’s.
Every year AEC Cares engages the architecture, engineering and construction community in a volunteer event coinciding with the annual AIA Conference on Architecture & Design.
The site of this year’s project serves adolescents living in Dorchester’s Bowdoin-Geneva neighborhood during after school hours and throughout the summer months, explains a release. The staff, programs and activities aim to increase teens’ self-esteem while providing the tools needed for academic and personal growth as well as their success in the community.
“The ConstructConnect team and AEC Cares board are thrilled to support Catholic Charities’ longstanding history of service to the youth and families of Boston,” said Jennifer Johnson, ConstructConnect Chief Product Officer and AEC Cares board president, in a statement. “Through generous donations from our partner organizations and volunteers, we hope to make meaningful contributions to the wellbeing of youth served throughout the year at The Catholic Charities Teen Center.”
Coined the most ambitious AEC Cares project to date, the renovation will breathe new life into a space dedicated to empowering at-risk youth.
“The Teen Center has a long legacy as a compassionate and safe space where youth are encouraged to reach their full potential and build brighter futures,” said Kelley Tuthill, president and CEO of Catholic Charities Boston. “We are profoundly grateful to AEC Cares and ConstructConnect for their transformative vision and commitment to reimagine the center into an environment that better reflects its welcoming, vibrant spirit and the young people we are honored to serve.”
