The Boston Beach Culture Center takes an holistic approach to providing children and youth with a safe and nurturing environment in which to grow, learn, and thrive.
Student needs are identified and met through a multi-disciplinary and individualized approach.
We are looking for motivated and flexible people that can help with the children. We are always looking for new ideas and if you have some talent in music, arts or other we would be very happy for you to share this talent with the kids. There is a skate park on site and much help is needed in instructing the children so bring a board!
We are also always looking for workers who can help with gardening and DIY.
