Seven Hills Foundation is proud to participate in the Statewide Urban Youth Collaborative (UYCP) internship program. The purpose of this program is to offer students from diverse backgrounds in residential, day habilitation, and administrative settings to explore careers in human services.  The goal is to provide the opportunity for the interns to experience the work and learn about the people we serve, and the hope is that, ultimately, this exposure may inspire the interns to consider pursuing a career within the Human Services Field.

This program has been funded and coordinated by the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services (DDS) since 1992.
