Programs for High School Students

The Harvard Ed Portal is deeply committed to supporting the learning and growth of local high school students through programming focused on academic, professional, and identity development. Students will dive into new and existing interests, build relationships with peers and mentors, and expand their horizons as they complete their high school careers and gain additional tools, knowledge, and experiences to inform their choices and decisions post-graduation.

Career Pathways to Summer Jobs

The Harvard Ed Portal is offering two different Career Pathways Programs for high school students who attend Cambridge Rindge and Latin School and or live in Allston-Brighton during Spring Semester, 2022. High school students who participate in and complete these programs are guaranteed Summer 2022 jobs with Harvard University or their community partners.
