BOSTON SOCIETY
OF VULCANS
OF MASS INC
Welcome to the Boston Society
of Vulcans web site.
We
are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on empowering people
in need through education and support in the area of fire & public
safety, prevention and employment into the fire service.
In
existence for thirty years, we have shown a commitment to our mission
through community based programs and events that benefit residents in
and around the area of Boston Massachusetts.
The primary
beneficiaries of our programs are young adults between 18-32 seeking
employment, children, the elderly, low-income families and firefighters
of color.
We are part of a national organization,called
the International Association of Black Professional Firefighters, that
has chapters throughout the United States, Caribbean, Africa, Europe,
Central and South America.
We offer small grants and
college scholarships, turkeys to needy families at thanksgiving, CPR,
first aide and fire safety training, recruitment for employment into the
fire service, and new for 2002 a first time homebuyers IDA program, for
low- income families and organizations in the Boston Area.
Our
next project that we are looking to bring to the community is a public
safety training center. It will give us the opportunity to increase the
current list of programs that we now provide, assist in preparing the
community for future events or disasters, and for employment into the
public safety field.
