FutureBOS Youth Jobs Fair: Where Opportunity Meets the Next Generation

On Saturday, May 10, we had the honor of capturing the energy, ambition, and community spirit at the 2025 futureBOS Youth Jobs Fair, hosted at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center in Boston. This annual event, powered by the Office of Youth Employment and Opportunity, is more than just a job fair—it’s a launching pad for Boston’s next generation of leaders.

Designed for youth ages 14 to 24, the fair brought together hundreds of young people eager to explore summer job opportunities, connect with employer partners, and gain valuable career-readiness tools. From application support and resume workshops to free food and prizes, the event was a vibrant celebration of potential and possibility.

What stood out most was the impact—watching students light up as they spoke with real employers, received hands-on coaching, and realized they had options. For many, this was their first step into the professional world. And that moment? It matters.

Events like futureBOS remind us that when we invest in youth, we’re not just offering them jobs—we’re creating access, confidence, and a pathway to generational change.

AVARIA was proud to be on-site to document this milestone—capturing not just the event, but the stories of young people who are ready to show up, step up, and shape Boston’s future.
