Internship Connection announces an exciting collaboration with The Center for the Study of Sport in Society, housed at Northeastern University. In previous years, athletes from many colleges in Boston have served as mentors in Sport in Society's Urban Youth Sports Program.

Now, high school athletes have the unique opportunity to participate in a part-time summer internship program where they will serve as role models for urban youth in the Community Centers of Boston. High school athletes will serve as leaders and mentors in sports, social and/or academic activities. They will become assistant teachers involved in reading and tutoring, health education, and activities that foster self-esteem in young girls and boys.

The Center for the Study of Sport in Society housed at Northeastern University is the world’s leading social justice organization that uses sport to create social change.

Internship Connection works with their Urban Youth Sports Program to provide high school and college students with “real-world” career experience through summer internships in the Boston area.
