To be a part of the Boston Youth Fund, a teen signs up on the Hopeline and meet the age eligibility and residency requirements.
The youth selected in the lottery are contacted by BYF staff to find out if the teen is still interested in working.
Once a teen accepts the position, they are invited to the BYF headquarters to be processed and placed on the payroll.
A link to all the requirements for the Boston Youth Fund can be found on the BYF's website.
An applicant must provide proof of age, Boston residency, school enrollment, and parental consent to be eligible for the program.
