What was your first job? At TE, we offer a unique employment opportunity for youth. Working as community organizers, TE youth make positive change in their own lives and their communities.

With severe cuts to youth jobs funding, we need your help to keep these life-changing experiences for teens. Please give by June 30 to support this important work!

Glad to partner with Roxbury YMCA, Project RIGHT Inc, Suffolk County District Attorney's Office and other community partners to keep our neighborhood McDonalds open as a safe place for teens and the whole community to gather.

Several community groups plan to establish a regular presence during afterschool hours, offering resources, assistance, activities, and mentorship.

"Youth jobs are necessary, not optional....Youth jobs keep young people alive and provide safe spaces. Youth jobs decrease violence and harm. These programs help develop the necessary skills and equip youth with the ability to succeed now and in the future."
