Brian J. Honan Fellowship

The Honan Fellowship is an initiative run by the West End House that empowers youth from across Boston to become engaged and influence change in their community, develop leadership skills, and stimulate an interest in public service. Fellows learn about government and politics, identify neighborhood concerns, complete service projects, and meet with public officials and advocates. The program includes a paid summer internship in a community agency or government office and ends with a community action project to create change in Boston.
