How does it work?

  • Current LEAH youth and staff recruit and hire new youth through a rigorous application process.

  • Youth participate in an intensive training program before beginning work with elementary school students.

  • Youth are placed in paid internships at afterschool programs where they teach STEM curricula, help with homework, and mentor Boston Public School elementary school students.

  • Youth participate with LEAH 8 hours a week during the school year and 30 hours a week during the summer. This time is spent at after school sites throughout Boston, in academic support/homework time, and in weekly Meetings.

  • Youth come together to lead and participate in weekly training and team-building.

  • Youth are provided with college counseling and help through the application process, to break down potential barriers that could stand between them and a post-secondary school education
