Choose Your Internship Experience:

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.

SITC is a fully-credited fellowship program that gives undergraduate students the opportunity to spend a semester in Boston learning hands-on through well-supported internships in the social sector.
