Overview:

The mission of the Human Services Cabinet is to provide equitable access to high-quality services, resources, and opportunities so that every Boston resident — especially those with the greatest needs — has what they need to thrive. In pursuit of this mission, the departments in the Human Services Cabinet meet residents where they are — in their homes, neighborhoods, and communities — to break down barriers to critical resources.

To truly thrive, every Boston resident needs access to good jobs, affordable housing, healthy food, safe places to exercise and express themselves, and opportunities to connect with others in their community. Together, the Human Services Cabinet will expand our programming, invest in our community spaces, and drive policies that increase opportunity, ensuring all Boston residents can thrive.

Let's Play Boston is one of the Cabinet's initiatives. Mayor Wu's administration is committed to nurturing a robust and resilient youth sports ecosystem that develops youth, creates community, and enhances the quality of life. We envision a future where Boston youth have access to sports, irrespective of race, ethnicity, gender, ability, or zip code. We envision a Boston where youth sports instill community pride and facilitate healthy cross-city connections.

In 2024-2025, Let's Play Boston is focused on:

- Lowering barriers to access, with a focus on making youth sports affordable and inclusive.
- Building human capacity and facilities infrastructure to support youth sports now and in the future.
- Leveraging sports to build community and foster economic growth.

Key Duties and Responsibilities:

- Document youth sports games, activities, and events (equipment will be provided)
- Create social media content from the documented footage
