About the Boost Mobile RockCorps Movement

Boost Mobile and RockCorps have partnered to spread a national youth movement: Boost Mobile RockCorps. The movement encourages volunteerism in young people. It was created to effect social change and act as a bridge between communities in need and the young people who want to make them better. Every volunteer who gives 4 hours of service, receives a ticket to a concert featuring the hottest artists today. Boost Mobile RockCorps introduces youth to service opportunities in their own neighborhood starting them on a lifelong commitment to civic engagement and service.

Established in 2002, RockCorps evolved from a concept executed by the Greenbucks Foundation that began in 1995.

Boost Mobile RockCorps (BMRC) launched in the summer of 2005. Since then our "Around the Way Revolution" has motivated 16,000+ young people throughout the U.S. to get involved, connect with their community and become a part of a youth movement for social change.

In 2007 we are even bigger. Los Angeles, Oakland, Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, Minneapolis, Detroit, Portland, Baltimore, Philadelphia,Washington DC and New York. 175+ volunteer projects. Concerts at the Kodak Theatre, the Fox Theatre, Radio City Music Hall and points in between.
