First Gen Mentorship Program

The Somerville Foundation is proud to support Somerville High School’s First Gen Mentorship Program, an initiative designed to empower first-generation college-bound students through mentorship, exposure, and community.

​

Your donation helps us provide:

  • Meals at mentorship events that foster connection and belonging

  • Transportation for college tours that expand students’ horizons

  • Staffing support to grow the program’s reach and deepen its impact

​

Together, we can help Somerville’s first-gen students take the next step toward their future.
