ConstructConnect Announces AEC Cares Service Project Benefitting Catholic Charities Boston
Volunteers will renovate The Catholic Charities Teen Center at St. Peter's in Boston during one-day "blitz build" coinciding with AIA25 Conference on Architecture & Design
BOSTON, March 27 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ConstructConnect, a leading provider of software solutions for the construction industry and a presenting sponsor and founding partner of the 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization AEC Cares, announced that this year's AEC Cares project will benefit Catholic Charities Boston, one of the most comprehensive non-profit providers of social services in Massachusetts. Catholic Charities Boston serves thousands of vulnerable individuals and families of all faiths and backgrounds across Eastern Massachusetts. On Wednesday, June 4, over 100 volunteers will gather to renovate The Catholic Charities Teen Center at St. Peter's.
Each 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, The Teen Center, serves adolescents living in Dorchester's Bowdoin-Geneva neighborhood during after school hours and throughout the summer months. 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. "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."
The most ambitious AEC Cares project to date, this renovation will breathe new life into a space dedicated to empowering at-risk youth, fostering education, and providing a haven for teens in need.
"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 & 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."
