Dedicated leaders. Passionate advocates. Committed volunteers.

While some of these dedicated leaders are returning members and others began their service in January, we wanted to take a moment to introduce the incredible individuals who help guide our organization.

Our Board of Directors is made up entirely of volunteers who generously contribute their time, expertise, and passion to support our mission. Representing a variety of industries, professions, and experiences—and with some leading nonprofits and organizations of their own—they bring valuable perspectives and unwavering commitment to our work.

As a small but mighty nonprofit, we rely on the leadership, guidance, and dedication of our board to help us grow, serve our community, and continue making an impact. Their contributions often happen behind the scenes, but they are instrumental to our success.

To each of our board members: thank you for your time, leadership, and dedication. We are grateful for your service and all that you do to help advance our mission. Quite simply, we could not do it without you.

Please join us in welcoming and thanking our 2026 Board of Directors!

And a very special thank you to the sponsors of our privately funded scholarships: 4 Insurance, LLC, the Jandriel Heredia Scholarship, and our newest scholarship, the Raíces Scholarship, established in honor of Fredy Rivera.

These scholarships represent more than financial support—they are a reflection of generosity, belief, and a commitment to investing in the dreams of our young people. This year, these three scholarships were proudly included among the 15 scholarships awarded, helping students take the next step in their educational journeys.

To those who have chosen to honor a legacy, give back to the community, and create opportunities for future generations: thank you. Your support will have a lasting impact on the lives of our scholars, and the difference you are making extends far beyond a single award. We are deeply grateful to have partners who believe so strongly in the power of education and the potential of every student. 💙

We would also like to acknowledge our Community Star Sponsors:
Raw Art Works, Lynn Teachers Union, and Lynn Community Health Center.

These organizations play an important role in strengthening our community through their commitment to education, health, creativity, and opportunity for young people. Their work aligns closely with our mission of supporting and empowering scholars as they pursue their educational goals and prepare to make a positive impact in the world.

We are grateful for their partnership and investment in our students. Thank you for helping us create brighter futures and for making our Scholarship Reception a success. 💙

Our Scholarship Reception was made even more special thanks to the generous support of our community sponsors and partners.

A sincere thank you to Tristan Smith, School Committee Member, State Representative Donald Wong, Dan Cahill, Sean Reid, Jenny Armini, Senator Brendan Crighton, La Vida Scholars, and KIPP MA for sponsoring this year's scholarship reception and investing in the success of our scholars.

Your support helps us celebrate student achievement, expand opportunities, and continue our mission of empowering current and future scholars. We are grateful to have such dedicated community leaders and organizations championing education and giving back to our community.

Thank you for helping make this event a success and for believing in the potential of our students. 💙
