: Scholars in Action! 🎨🍕📸

From art projects to retreats and step performances—Steppingstone Scholars have been making memories and building skills for decades. Who remembers these moments? Drop your year in the comments! ⬇️

More Than Just a Tour! Overnight college tours were more than just campus visits—they were late-night laughs, shared playlists, and unforgettable moments with friends. From bowling showdowns to bus singalongs, these trips were (and are!) a core part of the Steppingstone experience.🎶🚌🎳

College visits may be serious business, but a little fun makes the journey even better! What was your favorite part of your college tour?

: We thought we’d take a trip down memory lane as we bid farewell to 1 Appleton Street 🥹🚚📦✌🏾⏪

Give a shout-out to any staff you recognize from over the years!

Have you heard the news? 🗞️ Steppingstone is moving to a new office space in the Financial District… but not without our Alumni!  ❤️

Our team spent hours poring over 30 boxes of Alumni files to digitize, finding old applications, essays (“The person who inspires me most is…”), SMASH tutoring logs, and more. 

This was a colossal task, but thanks to you, it was filled with smiles!

Steppingstone (and our Alumni) have seen a few offices in our day. What do you remember about our old spaces? We can’t wait to welcome you to 200 High Street!

Steppingstone Scholars know how to work hard, play hard. As we enter our final spotlight week, we’re thrilled to highlight classes from the mid 2000s.

This year’s Alumni Reunion will be on Thursday, May 23, 2024 at Trillium Fenway (Center Landmark Center, 401 Park Dr, Boston, MA 02215)! Festivities will take place from 6:00 - 8:00 PM EST. We are just one week away from the Alumni Reunion and we’d love to see you there!

We love summers here at Steppingstone. Don’t believe us? Check out all of the “fun in the sun” that Scholars throughout the early 2000s got to have. See yourself or someone you know? Let us know in the comments! 👀

Steppingstone’s Day of Giving was a success, thanks to you. 

Join us in celebrating major highlights:

• Alumni showed leadership in giving.
• We welcomed new donors to our community.
• Matching gifts and experiences were unlocked.
• Together, we reached a total of more than $120,000!

As a nonprofit that relies on generosity to maximize the support we can offer Scholars, this total is nothing short of transformative. And you helped us get there.

Thank you for investing in the next generation of Scholars!
