Student Shoveler Program Each year the Cambridge Council on Aging and the Office of Workforce Development collaborate to compile a list of Cambridge high school students who are available to shovel snow for senior citizens and persons with disabilities. Many of these students have participated in the MSYEP (Mayor’s Summer Youth Employment Program). On average, pay for shoveling will range from $15 to $30 per job, depending on the amount of snow and size of the area being shoveled. Homeowner’s will contact the students directly. The pay is negotiated between the homeowner and the student, and the homeowner will pay the student directly. It is suggested that the homeowner and the student agree on a price before the job is started. Students are required to turn off their cell phones during the school day, so please be sure to leave a voicemail so the student can return your call when school is out. It is also suggested that you contact the student prior to snowfall to discuss their availability and other specifics. Please call or visit the Council on Aging to receive a copy of this list.
