Warms my heart to know that with the help of @FriendsBoston this young man is achieving his goals. His long-term mentor (or Friend) helped shape his trajectory, and stuck with him #NoMatterWhat for 12 years. Friends-Boston has hundreds of similar success stories. #NGFLovesGiving
From kindergarten to high school graduation, #nomatterwhat, supporting ALL of Achievers' dreams. We were there in the beginning, and still here when *Elias submits his college application!
Thanks @nationalgridus Foundation 4 investing in our long-term model! #NGFLovesGiving

As the school year ramps up, we are grateful for some recent partnerships with organizations who are supporting their students and families as they return to school and other academic initiatives from digital equity to affordable education and individualized tutoring.

Every year, our Elementary Cohort donates a portion of the proceeds to a charity of their choice. This year they chose to support The Boston Medical Center (@The_BMC)! BMC has been on the front lines of the Covid-19 pandemic, providing exceptional care to Boston residents.

Our Elementary Achievers are selling hand-designed mugs for this year's Lemonade Day! Like last year, we aren't able to sell homemade lemonade so instead our youth have decorated mugs to purchase as part of their entrepreneurial curriculum.
