National Service Statement

The City of Boston encourages AmeriCorps alumni, Peace Corps alumni, and veterans to apply for employment. The City believes national service alumni and veterans have unique transferable skills, such as being dedicated and mission oriented.

Therefore, Boston is providing them the opportunity to share how these skills can be applied in the City workplace. Please note that preference will not be given to national alumni in the hiring process. The inclusion of this statement on the City of Boston Career Center is to highlight the value that national service alumni can bring to the work place.
