Each session ends with a benefit concert that raises money for a charitable organization chosen by the students themselves. Plugged In provides a nurturing and supportive community to which young musicians feel a sense of belonging, an opportunity to express and be acknowledged for their musical interests and a chance to use their music to help others around the world.

Like no other program in the area, Summer Sessions focuses on putting together a unique band with the goal of creating original music recorded in the Music Studio right at the Y. Participants can build and improve upon the creative skills of songwriting, filming, audio engineering, video editing, production, and instrumental or vocal performance while creating a complete professional project – an EP and/or a music video.
Summer Sessions will offer enrolled students the opportunity to form new advanced skills that help mold young musicians into experienced, successful artists. These collaborative projects foster abilities and work ethic that are not exclusive to the music industry, but can be applied to so many other careers and educational experiences. Summer Sessions focuses on the process, not just the content.
*This program is designed for students with experience playing in a group setting, writing original music, and/or recording. A pre-registration meeting with YMCA Creative Arts Staff is required for NEW students or students WITHOUT any of the above experience.*

Did you know that colleges are interested in students who have an in-depth academic interest or talent? For the last 11 years, Internship Connection, an educational, school-to-career program has provided high school and college students, ages 16-23, with “real-world” work experience through Summer or Gap Year Internships in Boston.
Students are able to live at home and work a part-time flexible schedule, leaving time for other activities. Summer internships take place over a 6-8 week period. Through the proven, step-by-step process, students receive career guidance from counselors with Masters Degrees and learn the skills required when applying to jobs: how to create a resume, cover letter and interview for the work place.
The program establishes and supervises an internship with carefully chosen workplace mentors in the student’s field of interest including technology, law, government, arts, science and more.
