Overview
This is a one-year rotating position
The Office of Youth Engagement and Advancement (OYEA) works to uplift young voices in decision-making processes and helps advance the lives of young people across Boston through programming and resource connecting. We feel it is crucial to have young voices actively engaged in the policies and decisions that impact their lives, and our mission is to provide the platform for them to do so.
All Boston youth should have access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive. We aim to serve as a central hub connecting young people to these resources and opportunities across City Hall and in their communities.

Our goal is to create and support spaces that empower our next generation to become community leaders and agents of change.
The mission of the Office of Youth Engagement and Advancement (OYEA) is to support the three levels of youth work: (1) spaces and programs for young people, (2) the adults and professionals in those spaces, and (3) young people themselves.
