About these services

Student Employment Services (SES) uses the UMass Boston Career Services Online website to list all of the opportunities available in the Federal Work-Study and Institutional Student Employment programs, including community service opportunities.

The Federal Work-Study Community Service Program is limited to local non-profit agencies offering community service positions. The program funds 75 percent of the student's wages, offering off-campus non-profit organizations an opportunity to provide community service jobs for students at a fraction of the cost.

The Part-Time Job Program, on the other hand, is open to a broader array of employers. Please remember that the listed companies do not have any affiliations with UMass Boston, unless it is an Off Campus Work Study position. While we make every effort to make sure the information is from secured sources, please use your discretion when reviewing employers and their employment opportunities.
