Student Nomination Form: Motivate

Boston Partners in Education’s Motivate program is designed to support Boston Public Schools students in grades K0-2 in a whole-class setting. Classes meet with mentors in person 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 will be matched. For the best chances of being matched, please nominate your students 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 K-12 for one-on-one or small group mentoring support, please review our program offerings here and decide which is the best fit.
