our mission

Helperbees.org is an experiment run by the parents of the Florida Ruffin Ridley School in Brookline, Massachusetts. Our mission is to to give students an opportunity to volunteer, to build a strong community, and to raise money for student activities.

Parents and students must raise money each year to fund everything from the school play to class events. As parents we challenged ourselves to imagine a way to do this in a way that involves the whole community.
