Semester Programs for Emerging Civic Leaders
College for Social Innovation is on a mission to educate and inspire the next generation of problem-solvers.
Through two 15-week programs, Boston-based Semester in the City and locally-focused Semester for Impact, we immerse youth aged 17-25 in an intensive semester of professional, personal, and civic development with wraparound supports.
600+ student alumni agree: spending a semester at SITC or SFI leads to meaningful growth in confidence, career clarity, and skills for success in college, the workforce, and adult life.
