Student Nomination Form: Accelerate 

Boston Partners in Education's Accelerate program is designed to support students in kindergarten through 8th grade, in one-on-one or small group (2-4 students) matches. Students meet with mentors in person, in class, during the school day.

We make new mentoring matches from September until late April. While we strive to match as many students as possible, we cannot guarantee that your student(s) will be matched. For the best chances of being matched, please nominate your student(s) as early in the school year as possible and with as much detail as possible. Please contact us at [email protected] or call (617) 451-6145 with any questions. 

If you want to nominate students in grades 9-12 or whole K-2 classrooms for support, please review our other program offerings here and decide which is the best fit.
