WHEN? 

ABCD SummerWorks 2023 will run from June 26th to August 25th.

THE BASICS

We are offering positions in person at worksites throughout Boston with the goal of helping you gain skills and explore different pathways.

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!

WHO QUALIFIES? 

If you’re a Boston resident age 14 to 21, we encourage you to apply. But apply early because space is limited. Each year we start accepting applications on February 1st.

You must be between the ages of 14 to 21 as of June 28. If you will turn 22 on or after June 28, you may still apply and be eligible.
