At programming, Scholars receive support from Middle School Success (MSS) Staff to help them achieve higher marks in their academics, while continuing to build MSS foundational skills like perseverance, self-efficacy, and responsible decision-making. In this academic year, we are seeking Middle School Success Volunteers to assist with operational support during our in-person programming days: Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. This role will work closely with Advisors and our Volunteer Coordinator to support the day-to-day needs of our programming.   ## STRIVE Career Mentoring Program STRIVE (Scholars Thriving through Relationships, Internships, and Valuable Experiences) is Steppingstone’s near-peer mentoring program for college sophomores and juniors. Through this full academic year program, Scholars are matched with mentors with similar experiences, career industries, and overall interests, and participate in a skills-building curriculum. Scholars and mentors will meet twice per month from August 2026–June 2027. Mentors will have the option to attend virtual Office Hours with Career Success staff the first week of each month. Steppingstone is seeking mentors who are committed to the timing of the program as well as our mission. Eligible mentors will be “near-peer” young professionals. Want to get involved?

This board is non-governing and non-fiduciary, providing visible support and serving as thought partners to advance the organization’s mission. Ambassadors promote Steppingstone within their networks, participate in select events and initiatives each year, make an annual personally meaningful gift (with a suggested $10,000 give/get), and help connect the organization with new donors and partners, as well as opportunities that support Scholars and families.  The commitment is flexible with a renewable two-year term.  For more information, please contact Caitlin Kenly, Senior Director of Leadership Giving & Engagement, at [ckenly@steppingstone.org](mailto:ckenly@steppingstone.org). ![Screenshot 2026-01-06 at 6.33.40 PM](https://news.steppingstone.org/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-01-06%20at%206.33.40%20PM.png "Screenshot 2026-01-06 at 6.33.40 PM") ## The Board of Young Professionals Are you a young professional in the city of Boston who would like to give your time and talents to support Steppingstone's mission?
