B Team Buffalo is a non-profit organization led by young professionals dedicated to promoting a lasting sense of civic pride in the Greater Buffalo area. The B Team creates high-impact signature projects and assists other organizations with the development and execution of volunteer-driven, Buffalo-focused events. We aim to inspire community engagement that translates into ongoing change.

Membership: More than 200 young professionals volunteered with B Team in 2017 and our active membership base continues to increase yearly. Becoming a member of B Team is as easy as signing up for our newsletter and is free of charge.

Impact: In 2017, B Team Buffalo and its membership donated more than 1,000 hours of time to various local groups, events, and causes.

Signature Event: Each year, B Team Buffalo partners with a neighborhood in Buffalo. In December, we decorate homes and hold a winter carnival at no cost to local residents.

Partners: We have worked with the Seneca Babcock Community Association, Matt Urban Hope Center, West Side International Soccer, BN360, Chalkfest, Buffalo Hearing and Speech, UNYTS, Boys and Girls Clubs of Buffalo, Code Blue Relief Mission, Harbor House, the National Buffalo Wing Festival, and numerous neighborhood organizations since our inception in 2008.
