The world recently got bigger for 36 New Bedford teenagers. The youths spent their summer participating in a jobs program that taught them important job-readiness skills and how to care for the environment, thanks to a partnership between NorthStar Learning Centers, a New Bedford-based minority nonprofit organization, and Mass Audubon’s Allens Pond Wildlife Sanctuary in South Dartmouth.
