Who runs the world? Teens!

This summer SSYP, in collaboration with the Boston Center for Youth and Families, Chelsea Collaborate, and the Attorney General's Office, is providing 181 jobs and internships at our sites. Teens are working as tutors and mentors, field trip chaperones, peace walk coordinators, workshop designers, leadership development facilitators, and so much more! Teen staff make the magic happen and they go above and beyond to create a space where all participants Feel Safe, Feel Big, and Feel Connected.
