Lisa Boyle Quoted in Hartford Business Journal Article on Summer Internship Program with the Boys & Girls Club of Hartford

Health Law Group lawyer Lisa M. Boyle was quoted in the article “Boys & Girls Clubs sharpen focus on college, career readiness,” published in the Hartford Business Journal on March 19, 2018. The article discusses efforts Boys & Girls Clubs of America is making to sharpen its focus on college and career readiness as the result of a $3 million grant from The Hartford to develop college and career centers at 30 clubs across the country, including Hartford. “Hartford law firm Robinson+Cole has enjoyed success employing two or three Boys & Girls Clubs interns each summer for about the last decade, said Lisa Boyle, a partner there. Interns work in areas that include the records department and information systems and learn a law firm is more than lawyers, she said. Interns get exposed to marketing, IT, and more, talk with staff about their jobs and the training necessary for them.” Ms. Boyle continued by saying, “It can be hard for teens to get summer jobs, particularly for those in Hartford who may have few connections outside their immediate neighborhood, she said. Robinson+Cole gives teens a place to spend time in summer, earn money, make connections and experience a professional business environment.” For nearly 20 years, Ms. Boyle served on the Board of Trustees for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford, including several years in which she served as the Board Secretary.
