A job at The Boston Project is more than a paycheck.

It’s an opportunity to explore career interests, learn foundational work-readiness skills, and develop personally, professionally, and as a leader. We offer 10-15 paid school-year jobs and 20-30 paid summer job positions each year. During the school year, there are two teams that youth ages 14-18 can apply for.

What Teens Are Saying

Aren

Teen Employee

“Before I came to The Boston Project I was expecting it to be intimidating. I expected jobs to be robotic, strict. When I came here it changed my perspective on how enjoyable a job can be. I didn’t think I would like it this much. I appreciated how dedicated the staff were on teaching youth about college preparedness and stuff like finances. I wasn’t expecting that; I wasn’t expecting to get stuff I could take with me out of my job.”

Job Details

Youth are paid $15.00-$16.00 per hour and can work up to 10 hours a week during the school year and 25 hours a week during the summer. During the summer, a teenager can work a maximum of 175 hours and up to 300 hours during the school year. Youth are paid bi-weekly by the Boston Project Ministries directly as a City of Boston grant partner.

 

How Do I Apply?

Applications for school-year jobs open in late September, and summer jobs open at the start of the February school vacation week. Youth are strongly encouraged to submit a resume and cover letter with their application. If you need assistance with either, please get in touch with us, and a youth program coordinator will assist you. Qualified candidates are invited to an interview before a hiring decision is made.
