Boston Partners in Education

10/21/2026

What an unforgettable evening at the Boston Partners in Education 60th Anniversary Gala!
Together, we celebrated six decades of the Power of Partnership, honoring the incredible donors, educators, and mentors who show up every day to make a difference in the lives of Boston’s youth.

We took a journey through the past, present, and future of BPIE, listening to inspiring stories that reminded us of how much impact one caring adult can have.
Highlights from a powerful night:

Honoring Rep. Rob Consalvo for his unwavering leadership, advocacy, and dedication to our students and public schools.

Pausing to honor and remember the legacy of Arnie Wood, whose lifelong commitment to youth mentorship will continue to guide our mission.

Opening up our Silent & Live Auctions—and feeling the room light up during our Paddle Raise "For the kids!"

To everyone who attended, bid, raised a paddle, or shared a story: THANK YOU. Because of your generosity, more students across Boston will receive the individual support, guidance, and encouragement they deserve.

Here’s to 60 years behind us—and an even brighter future ahead.

What does The Power of Partnerships actually look like?

It looks like:

A volunteer mentor showing up week after week to provide consistency.
A dedicated BPS teacher receiving tailored, small-group support.
A student realizing their goals are entirely within reach.
Over the past year, hundreds of academic mentors logged thousands of hours beside Boston students, proving that real progress is always a team effort.
On October 15, we celebrate every mentor-student-educator partnership that makes Boston stronger. Come be part of the equation.

On Thursday, October 15, join us at GBH Studios as Boston Partners in Education marks six decades of uniting volunteer mentors, dedicated educators, and incredible Boston Public Schools students.

The 60th Anniversary Gala is more than a retrospective—it is an investment in the collaborations that will lift up our classrooms for the next 60 years.

Talk about baking the world a better place!
We are blown away by the generosity of Flour bakery cafe and Joanne Chang. Through their Charity of the Month program, the Flour community raised over $7,400 to support our students and volunteer mentors across Boston Public Schools.
Flour has been a dedicated, longtime partner to our mission, and having their continued belief in our work over the years means the world to us. Seeing this community rally behind the power of academic mentoring is an incredible testament to what happens when local businesses invest in our shared future.
To the Flour team members who chose us, and to every single person who rounded up their order or treated themselves to a pastry for a good cause: thank you. Your support ensures more Boston students get the one-on-one academic and emotional support they need to thrive.
