Summer Program Safety
Each year, the University of Massachusetts Boston is proud to host hundreds of area youth in a diverse array of summer programs. Some programs offer academic enrichment. Others focus on sports and outdoor activities. All offer participants exposure to our waterfront campus and university atmosphere. It is our hope to one day welcome these youth as UMass Boston students!
For more information about individual programs, please click on the links below. For administrative resources, including necessary forms, please see below.
For Summer Program staff who are anticipating bringing their youth to the University Food Court, it is required that you contact David Levine, General Manager of Dining Services, in order to coordinate arrival times and appropriate ordering options. In addition, it is also required that program staff be with the youth in their program at all times while they are in the cafeteria and that the noise is kept at an appropriate level as university employees and students will also be using the Food Court. If you have any questions, please contact David Levine at David.Levine@umb.edu
