Needham Steps Up

Mentorship. Equity. Opportunity.

This Giving Tuesday, your support helps connect more students with caring mentors who believe in them, cheer them on, and help open pathways they may not have access to alone.

🎃 Spooky season + bagels = the perfect combo! NSU kicked off the year at NHS with a Halloween bagel breakfast full of fun, laughter, and creativity. Our mentees got into the spirit decorating pumpkins generously donated by our corporate partner, Volante Farms. Thank you for your support! 💛

We are so grateful for the support of our community Allies: Middlesex Savings Bank, Needham Golf Club, Beth Israel Lahey Health, Volante Farms, and Needham Exchange Club! Their generous contributions make it possible for us to provide exploration grants to each of our mentees. These grants enable them to explore new opportunities—whether it's attending a leadership camp, taking a course, or pursuing an enriching extracurricular activity. Thank you for helping to expand their horizons and nurture their potential!

You too can support our mission! Go to https://www.needhamstepsup.org/support to learn more.

Today we’d like to thank Brookline Bank for stepping up to be a great Community Partner. With their generosity and commitment to the Needham community, we can help to foster an equitable learning environment one student at a time. Through 1:1 mentorship for all four years at Needham High School, NSU mentors help our deserving students successfully navigate high school while fostering opportunities to reach their full potential.

It's not too late to support our mission. Go to www.needhamstepsup.org/support to learn more.

It takes a special kind of person to make the commitment to guide and support a student, and we are so grateful for our team of mentors who do so with passion and dedication. We gave our mentors a little coffee and chocolate goodie bag at our monthly bagel breakfast to show our appreciation and thank them for their kindness, wisdom, and guidance. 🥰 👏
