Boston Teen Police Academy

The Boston Teen Police Academy is a summer job program that gives teens an inside look into the nation’s oldest department. It serves as a bridge between Police Officers and urban youth. While inspiring young people into becoming community leaders.

The teens are paid for a summer job to attend the program. The program involves physical training, community service, character development and other areas of interaction. The Academy counselors are Boston police officers and HOPE volunteers who mentor the teens. This program has resulted in closer relationships between the police force, the teens and their communities. A number of the teens have gone on to pursue a career as police officers. The mayor of Boston has described this program as the most effective program in the city to create good will, improve race relations and connection between the police and the city of Boston. The end of each summer program concludes with a celebration event in which the teens are honored in front of hundreds of family members.
