The Community Outreach Committee identifies opportunities for community involvement, educates Chamber members about the importance of corporate philanthropy, and implements the philanthropic portion of the Chamber's mission. Currently, the committee focuses on the Cambridge Challenge bringing business and youth together as partners and Community Service Days helping to beautify the City of Cambridge.
Mission
The Cambridge Chamber of Commerce established the Community Outreach Committee in 1995 to further its commitment to the local community. Its purpose is to engage Chamber members in actively strengthening and supporting educational initiatives for youth in Cambridge by identifying member resources and interests and brokering successful matches. The Chamber encourages support through volunteer and philanthropic initiatives, and seeks to enhance public awareness of these efforts.

Success Stories
"The program provided a stepping ladder for individuals who never would have dreamed of attending a college... the program kept us off the street and led us in the right direction."
