Cambridge Youth Programs (CYP) is rolling out Teen Night Live this summer, a boon for Cambridge teens looking to soak up interesting activities and pick up new skills. According to a news release on Cambridge's official government website, the program invites youths aged 14–19 to participate in various workshops and field trips, spanning from gardening and poetry to physical fitness, mental health, and entrepreneurship. The initiative aims to foster leadership among young individuals while providing a space for social connection.
The events are set to take place at three Youth Centers across Cambridge, with schedules tailored to each location. The Moses Youth Center (243 Harvard St.) and Russell Youth Center (680 Huron Ave.) will host the program from today through August 14, every Monday to Thursday from 6–9 p.m. Simultaneously, the Gately Youth Center (70 Rindge Ave.) has its Teen Night Live sessions slotted for July 8 to August 15, running Tuesday to Friday, matching the time frame of its counterparts. Those interested can check out more details and sign up by visiting City of Cambridge.
Moreover, teens engrossed in the Mayor’s Summer Youth Employment Program (MSYEP) stand to gain financially, earning payment for up to 3 hours per week just by showing up and engaging in Teen Night Live activities. It's a merge of earning while learning, with an emphasis on growth beyond the academic sphere - encompassing personal, professional, and social development.
