Boston Partners in Education

WHO WE ARE

Our Vision
With the commitment and involvement of the entire community, all schools in Boston will develop the skills, self-confidence, and motivation to recognize and achieve their full potential.

Our Mission
Boston Partners in Education is a catalyst for community involvement in education. Through quality program development and the professional training of volunteers, Boston Partners enriches the experiences of Boston students and inspires them to develop the skills and confidence necessary for personal growth, academic achievement and responsible citizenship in the 21st century.

Our Volunteers
Boston Partners in Education volunteers come from all walks of life and levels of education and experience. They come from community-based businesses, colleges, and organizations, as well as Boston's neighborhoods and suburbs. Our goal is to expand our reach in the community and increase our volunteer base by 30% over the next academic year, and develop strong partnerships with them to raise our volunteer retention rate to 20%. This will allow us to better serve the students in our programs, who develop meaningful relationships with their academic mentors.

Our Students
Participants mirror the demographics of the Boston Public Schools. The student body is 44% African-American, 33% Hispanic, 14% White, 9% Asian, and less than 1% Native American.

Organizational Structure
A 21-member Board of Directors governs Boston Partners in Education. Executive Director Pamela Civins provides leadership to a staff of 14 (11 full-time and 3 part-time employees).
