The NExT Program provides community based internships with an additional coaching and educational component for students with specials needs with the goal of supporting greater learning and success for students with individualized learning needs.
Complete assigned tasks (varied based on internship location). Additionally, in collaboration with the Mayor’s Youth Council, NExT students will participate in youth-led civic beautification projects as part of their internship experience. Students will work alongside community partners, including the Roxbury YMCA, D7 Café, and other neighborhood businesses and organizations, to help improve and maintain shared community spaces. Through these experiences, students will build workplace skills, develop a sense of civic responsibility, and take an active role in making the Roxbury community a cleaner, more welcoming, and connected place.

Public service is a noble calling: to help others, to make our communities stronger, and to uphold the public trust.
As city employees, we see the results of our hard work in our own community— in street and infrastructure improvements, new buildings rising from the ground, safer and more prosperous neighborhoods, and happier, healthier children, families, and senior citizens.
We may all come from different backgrounds, but we are connected through our passion for service.
What we do at work today, and everyday, shapes the Boston of tomorrow.
