Additional information

RECESS is a citywide collaboration aimed at creating a vibrant middle school activity hub, brought to you by the talented teens from the Mayor's Summer Youth Employment Program. This summer's version of RECESS is teaming up with various events across Cambridge to host community-based "pop-ups" tailored to young people entering grade 6, 7, or 8 for the upcoming school year.

 

From July 5th - August 11th, 2023, nine Mayor’s Summer Youth Employment Program (MSYEP) students and staff will make up the Recess team. Together, we’ll partner with Cambridge’s role models, organizations, and institutions to design, produce, and staff five events this Summer. These Teen-created events will serve Cambridge’s Middle Grade youth. Recess events strengthen existing offerings, non-profits, and community traditions that serve our young people.
