BGCB has created a blended learning RTW orientation process. The online components consist of job readiness training modules, skills assessments to identify careers, talents, and interest, with the live workshops focused on soft skills, collaborative activities and understanding resources and support systems available as members of BGCB.

BGCB Junior Staff program, offers direct internal employment and job readiness opportunities that are in high demand amongst our members.  Creating an opportunity to develop confidence in the workplace and mentor younger members through daily interactions. Interested participants apply and interview for positions in the summer and fall, departments include but aren’t limited to: Social Recreation, School Age Education, Technology, Athletics, Kitchen and Aquatics for lifeguards.

Job Readiness is meaningful entry-level employment experiences with external community partners and businesses.

The Teamworks Model, currently under development, will place cohorts of teens in unique jobs or meaningful entry-level employment experiences with community partners.  On-the-job mentoring and skills development will be a key component for the participants to progress and enhance their team building/ networking opportunities among peers and professionals.  These positions will be part-time during the school year and full-time during the summer.

Our Lifeguard program, is one of the most in demand and highest paying jobs a teen can be employed in state-wide.  If you have experience or serious interest in swimming, aquatics, and the safety of others talk with your club’s local Aquatics director.

The Technical Training program provides members with gainful employment advantages via credentialed certifications, pre-apprenticeships classes and dual enrollment courses with local community colleges.  Expanding members’ technical skillsets will equip them to be successful in future industries such as nursing, culinary arts, coding/IT, and skilled trades.

Boys & Girls Club of Boston has teamed up with Treehouse to launch TalentPath — an apprenticeship initiative focused on creating pathways to high-paying tech jobs, that will break down barriers for women and underrepresented people of color.

TalentPath program allows teens 18-24 to fast-track their career by earning a Treehouse TechDegree, getting a paid 3-month internship, and ultimately a full-time job placement at a Boston tech company.

All at no cost to the student.

Teens will have the opportunity to apply for full-time paid summer internships through Ready to Work’s Summer Internships.  These internships will add to their work experience, strengthen their professional networks, connect members with industry-based mentors to further their career exploration and build their resume.

Currently, BGCB’s Summer Internships places 30-35 teen members and recent alumni in summer internships in Business, Financial Services, Growth Equity, Healthcare, Legal, Law Enforcement, Marketing and Non-Profit sectors.

We plan to expand this program to serve more teens in a wider array of industries that Boston uniquely offers.
