SummerWorks

Take a major step forward. As an ABCD SummerWorks participant, you’ll take part in career development workshops and be placed in a job that gives back to the community, all while earning a paycheck.

WHEN? 

ABCD SummerWorks 2024 will run from June 17th to August 30th. Youth will start on a rolling basis. 

THE BASICS

We are offering positions at worksites throughout Boston to help you gain skills and explore different pathways. Participants ages 14 to 18 are paid $15/hour, and youth 19 to 24 are paid $20/hour. A limited number of positions will be paid at $16.25/hour.

We have recently changed the application system. While these changes will make it easier for returning applicants in the future, ALL applicants must register this year. (Click the Apply to SummerWorks button.)  Once this is done, you will be able to log in to your ABCD account. 

If you have any problems with the application, please contact ABCD Youth Services. 

Don’t wait! ABCD SummerWorks offers a limited number of openings, so it’s run as a lottery. The sooner you complete your application, the better your chances of getting in!
