Welcome back to Club at Home: Weekend Edition! This week we’re back with all the info you need to apply for the city’s summer employment programs. Read below to find out how you can get paid to work at Club as a Jr. Staff this summer!
As we all know, this unexpected time is shifting the way we currently live and interact. We hope you’re adjusting, staying safe, participating in healthy habits, and investing in yourself and your future productively while at home.
This weekend’s RTW post will be short but important. Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston and the City of Boston are both committed to ensuring you have employment and professional development opportunities this summer.
At Clubs this summer, our BGCB Jr. Staff hiring will be redirected through SuccessLink, the City of Boston’s youth jobs program. If you’ve not already applied, you can find the application here. On your application, make sure to include your Club name as the desired location. Once you’ve completed your Successlink application, let your Club Jr. Staff Manager know (usually this is a teen staff member or the Director of Operations).
Also, Teen Summer Employment agencies have extended their deadlines. If you have not already applied for a summer employment, please apply for a summer job via the links below.
This summer employment program, run through the City of Boston’s Department of Youth Engagement and Employment (DYEE), begins on Monday, July 6, 2020, and ends on Friday, August 14, 2020. Youth employees will be paid $12.75 per hour, for a maximum of 25 hours per week.
Youth must be age of 14-21 as of June 29, 2020. If you will be turning 22 on or after June 29, you may still apply and be eligible to work.

Remember even though we’re currently shut in, we won’t be in the future. Now is the time to be grateful for life, plan for the future, and stay connected.
Until next time… be great!
