Thoughts on the program:  "The North Cambridge Catholic program is truly one of a kind and the students participating in the internship program at NCC are nothing less than superstars.  The staff at NCC works diligently to prepare students to become hardworking, engaging young professionals.  I have yet to interact with a student who didn't make eye contact or know to shake my hand and introduce himself or herself in a polite and appropriate way," states Lauren Baker, Officer Manager at TBF and veteran supervisor of NCC students, "The Boston Foundation is delighted to have a strong and ongoing relationship with NCC and we are proud to play a role in helping to prepare these fine young people for their future work lives."
