Boston is an academic and economic hub: a destination for students from around the world.
Yet Boston youth, who could be first in their families to graduate college, are too often not accessing these same opportunities.
Boston HERC is changing that. Passport students are on a journey to Destination. . . Greatness!
What We Do
Equip first-generation-to-college high school students with the resources, connections, and skills they need to get in and stick through college, and launch careers
