The need to connect has never been greater, especially for our public school students. As we continue to adjust to the various remote solutions in our daily lives, we're reminded of the power of a simple interaction. This year, we celebrate the many types of connections that fuel our mentoring relationships with young people:
- Human - relationships that make students feel supported, remembered, and valued.
- Technological - links that help transcend physical boundaries, opening mentoring opportunities for even more BPS students.
- Big Cheese - networks that unite the city with the school community, preparing our next generation for success.
Be a connector!
Join Boston Partners in Education at the 2022 Big Cheese Gala on May 5th, and help us create more connections students can count on!
*Please note: If you are planning to attend the Big Cheese Gala, we strongly encourage all eligible individuals to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and booster. We are closely monitoring local public health indicators and will make event-related decisions with your safety as our top priority.
