GAIN INVALUABLE EXPERIENCE WHILE GIVING BACK
An internship is a powerful way to support ABCD’s mission to provide low income residents in the Boston and Mystic Valley areas with the tools, support, and resources they need to transition from poverty to stability and from stability to success.
Whether you’re looking to develop your skill set within a human services agency or to gain school credit, you can be sure that an internship at ABCD will help build others’ pathways out of poverty while expanding your professional or educational experience.
