Southwest Airlines/Boston Celtics Assists Program

In an effort to foster community service among youth, Southwest Airlines and the Celtics have once again teamed up to bring the Assists program to Boston Public Middle Schools.

Now in its ninth year, ASSISTS challenges eighth grade students in the Boston Public Middle Schools to design and implement a meaningful service project that will meet a community need.

Grand prize winners fly on Southwest Airlines to Baltimore/Washington (BWI) for a fun-filled day in the Nation's capital.
