This sounds like a great opportunity to gain leadership experience, be involved in a community project, and earn some money -- check it out!

Participants Sought for Neighborhood Service Projects
The Office of Workforce Development is recruiting for its Neighborhood Service Projects program which runs for 12 weeks at three different youth centers in Cambridge (Gately, Moore and Area IV). Recruitment ends February and the program begins February 24. Participants ages 14-15, work 6-8 hours per week, and are paid a stipend of up to $600.
  • Participants will develop real connections with the community and its members.

Some examples of potential projects include:

  • A Fashion Show with clothing made of recycled materials, plus an awareness campaign.
  • Teen Summit with roundtable discussions about violence and how it touches lives in the community
