The shelter provides food and shelter for all families during their stay, along with basic needs and cooking, dinning and laundry tools. Clothing, PPE, and other personal needs are provided on an individual need basis.

Internship Description

As an intern, you will be tasked with a variety of duties depending on the day.

We receive food donations on a consistent basis and do our best to get the donations out to the community as quickly as possible. In the summer, we work in our community giving garden quite a bit. Any service days that are scheduled will likely revolve around the garden, and we also schedule employee garden days to keep the garden maintained.

The best fit for this position would be someone who is flexible and willing to work as a member of a team.

Our model supports positive creative youth development from ages 11 to 21, empowering a community that values young people and enables them to be leaders in their neighborhoods.

Internship Description

Tiered instructional support is provided by certified ESL/SEL teachers, with students grouped by ELD level within grade ranges (e.g. grades 9-10, 10-11, etc.) Our morning academic sessions, which align with Boston After School & Beyond’s ACT Framework, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s Project-Based Learning Standards, cover College & Career Readiness units. In the afternoon, youth participate in enrichment clubs with Sociedad Latina’s youth development staff and trained consultants. Our enrichment clubs include sexual health education, music mastery, entrepreneurship and STEM exploration. Each program will combine arts and activism (“artivism”) to address a social justice issue in the community and develop creative problem solving towards these issues.
