Accelerate Nomination Form

Now accepting student nominations for the 2021-22 school year!

Thank you for your interest in working with Boston Partners in Education – our Accelerate student nomination form is officially open! Please note that the Accelerate program will be offered both in-person and online for the 2021-22 school year.

Requesting In-Person Accelerate Support

The Boston Public Schools have designated our organization as a direct service to students, which means BPS will allow our volunteers to return to schools in-person for 2021-22. However, before you can submit a nomination for in-person mentoring, we need to receive permission from your school leader for mentors to join you in the building. If you would like to submit a nomination for in-person support, and your school is not currently listed an option on the nomination form, please contact Sara Kilroy at [email protected] and she will contact your school leader as soon as possible.

Requesting Online Accelerate Support

Any BPS teacher may submit a request to match students with a remote mentor regardless of your school’s in-person mentoring status. If you’d like to submit an online nomination, please be aware that you must create a reoccurring video link for the student-mentor match, either through Zoom or Google Meet. Weekly online meetings will take place during school hours. Having a space where students can log in to meetings with headphones is recommended.
