We have connected Boston’s youth with more than 40,000 meaningful employment experiences by partnering each year with more than 150 community-based organizations. 

At this year’s job fair youth will have the opportunity to:

  • Connect with 150+ SuccessLink employers
  • Connect with 50+ youth-serving organizations
  • Engage with 4,500+ young adults
  • Take part in career development workshops on applying for jobs, resume writing, interviewing, and financial literacy
  • Get introduced to academic resources and wrap around youth services
