We are organizing an innovative internship opportunity for youth in the Massachusetts child welfare system, starting in July 2025.

This program aims to support youth with:

  1. Feeling safe and comfortable expressing themselves
  2. Learning strategies for design and problem-solving
  3. Feeling a sense of control over technologies that are ubiquitous in their lives
  4. Experiencing the joy of creating things they care about

Through a focus on playful exploration, imagination, and experimentation, interns will develop and express their perspectives and ideas for how technology can, should, or should not be used to support them and their communities. 

This program is made possible by Communities for People MA's iWorks program
