OUR MISSION
Greater Opportunity for Boston Kids
Boston Beyond is creating a new paradigm of learning for Boston kids by mobilizing the whole city to provide rich, skill-building opportunities beyond school hours.
More Learning Time
We help schools and community partners make the most of summer and after-school hours.
greater equity
Our citywide network is filling the enrichment and achievement gaps for students from low-income families.
Better Outcomes
Across partnerships, we focus on the skills students need for college, work, and life.
How we deliver
Citywide change takes focus, innovation, and collective commitment.
Expanding Opportunity
Children spend 80% of their waking hours beyond school. We’re making those hours count.
Building Skills That Matter
We’ve unified a city around specific skills that every kid needs to succeed.
Fueling Innovation
We think big, ask tough questions, and work together to test and prove effective solutions.
Measuring For Improvement
Common measures help us track progress, identify what works, and deepen impact.
Learning as a Network
We bring educators and nonprofits together to learn and share best practices in the field.
A CITY LEARNS TOGETHER
We believe that kids learn more—and we all work smarter—when we combine our best thinking and resources around common goals.
