It's Reunion Eve! ONE more day to 35ONE!

And, we are bursting with pride for the magnificent Class of 2020!

150 days ago, our Ambassadors got off the bus at Faneuil Hall, nervous and unsure. By day's end, they were a united and powerful force to make "Good Trouble". As we said our good byes, no one could have predicted how the world would change.

Nor did we know the extraordinary ways in which the Class of 2020 has responded to a global health crisis and a historic movement for racial justice. Each one revealed the heart, humanity, and values of this special Class. Through Service Leadership Academy, Hope & Gratitude Walk, their Starfish, inspiring initiative, and more Zooms than they could count -- they developed the skills and conviction to lead. And, the courage to take a stand for a world defined by greater justice, inclusion, and love. At the midpoint of their service year, our Class of good troublemakers has only just begun!

We can't wait to unite virtually and celebrate tomorrow evening. For each of the last 3,650 days, it has been our great privilege to serve with and learn from the Class of the 2020 and nine other remarkable Classes in orange and blue. On this Reunion Eve, we reflect on all they have achieved and on the limitless possibility of their leadership in the decades to come.

In two days, we unite virtually to celebrate a decade of inspiration & impact. Today, we honor the Class of 2019 — our “We Rise” Class.

And, rise they did. United, they rose to give voice to the voiceless, compassion to our most vulnerable, vigilance to our environment & issues of social justice, and always, in support and encouragement of one another.

The Class of 2019 stands as testament — we are stronger together.

Class of 2019, this #351GratitudeMoment is for you and with admiration for all the ways you rise.

Just three more days until Reunion! And, the perfect time to celebrate the Class of 2018 with today's #351GratitudeMoment.

Our year started in celebration of Coretta Scott King and her steadfast belief that the vision of the Beloved Community she shared with her husband...remained possible:

“I can see a great nation being reborn in justice and in sister and in brotherhood.

I see a nation which nurtures its children and protects their precious innocence with compassion and caring.

I see a nation where young people can get as much education as their minds can absorb and a full range of cultural opportunities to enrich their spirits.

I see a beloved community...

Let us build a society based on hope, and let us not only dream, but create a new national unity...”

Her call-to-action echoed throughout the year and still...energizing this Class of movement makers, community builders, and architects of change.

The Class of 2018's legacy is one of fortitude and faith, resiliency and resolve, and progress and possibility. We are ever-grateful to them for embracing the words of Mrs. King and marching toward the horizon with hope.

e pluribus unum -- out of many, one. The Class of 2017 began their year with resolve for unity and appreciation for the great diversity that defines our nation's promise.

Today, we honor the Class of 2017 with this #351GratitudeMoment. Our rising seniors who are more-than-ready to take on the mantle of leadership of our Project 351 community. Chief among many reasons is that unity forged on day one of their Ambassador Journey. On every day since, they have taught us about the power of inclusion, insistence on respect for the dignity of all, and the singular joy created by a community bound by common purpose.

Class of 2017, you lift us by your example and inspire us with your aspirations for strong, just, united, and joyful communities.

Today, we honor and give endless gratitude for you!

We have very special love for the Class of 2016! Our seniors! Who graduate this year after five years of Project 351 leadership.

A global view and fierce commitment to social justice defines this Class. They embrace challenge as a canvas to dream...and then create...a more humane and just planet. And, commit their extraordinary talent to be a force for good...a catalyst for change.

Class of 2016, how can we ever thank you for five years of commitment, conviction, and courage? Thank you for building Project 351 and for teaching us how to build a better world.

Today, we uplift the great Class of 2015 in this #351GratitudeMoment. This was a very special year -- our fifth anniversary Class and first year in service with Governor Charlie Baker and First Lady Lauren Baker!

Bill Richard's call-to-action of "Choose Kindness" served as soundtrack for a year of transformative statewide impact. Innovation in elementary school engagement, regional service, and independent initiatives reflected this big-hearted, visionary, anything-is-possible community of world changers.

Thank you, Class of 2015, for writing your inspiring chapter in our history book. Today's #351GratitudeMoment is in celebration of you!

The Class of 2014 inspires today's #351GratitudeMoment as we countdown ever close to Reunion!

What a beautiful community of leaders. Diverse, wise, open-hearted, and courageous with their perspectives, opinions, and aspirations for their community and Commonwealth.

A special legacy of this year? Our first year with Alumni-led Service Hero teams -- whose examples annually inspire our mission and fortify our values. This community of Heroes from 2014 forward -- including Martin Richard, DJ Henry, Cherylann Gengel, Pete Frates, Kara Bobroff, Thaddeus Miles, Mary Cringan, Governor Paul Cellucci, Vanessa Calderón-Rosado, Lauren Baker -- and this year's Class of Heroes are forever in our hearts.

Class of 2014, we honor your service and give endless #351GratitudeMoments for all the ways you've built our movement of positive social change. We are so thankful for you.

An abundance of #351GratitudeMoments to the shining lights of the Class of 2013!

Three years in and our youth-led movement of positive change gained momentum due to the passion and compassion of this special Class.

One indelible moment -- our Peace & Unity Walk to benefit the newly established One Fund, in support of the victims and survivors of the bombings at the Boston Marathon.

We gathered just two months later at our first Reunion at Gillette Stadium. At day's end, and in partnership with the Patriots Foundation and our champion Donna Spigarolo, we gathered in remembrance.

And, then walked silently through the Stadium in solidarity and with deepened resolve to build a world defined by peace, love, and greater humanity.

Project 351 creates alot of joyful noise. But, often, we speak loudest in silence.

Today's #351GratitudeMoment is dedicated to our second Class of Ambassadors -- dream makers and innovators.

Our first Reunion! Our founding Alumni Leadership Council! The first year that “Unite, Act, Lead” became our call-to-serve!

Class of 2012, we honor your legacy of laying the foundation for our youth-led movement of social change. Today and always, we celebrate and appreciate you!

For ten years, our mission and aspiration is that of a youth-led movement of social change. As we begin our second decade, we embrace our responsibility to do more to confront racism and create a more equitable future.

Ambassadors and Alumni lead us. We listen to their voices. And, we bear witness to their impassioned efforts to build strong, just, and inclusive communities.

Today, we begin a ten-day countdown to our June 17th Leadership Reunion by elevating their voices. One from every Class, as representative of the 3,753 eighth grade unsung heroes who've embraced the opportunity to lead and obligation to serve as Ambassadors.

We begin with our founding class — the Class of 2011. The pioneers of the community, family, and movement we call Project 351.

To our founding class...we're forever indebted to you. For answering the call to serve. For transforming the vision of Project 351 to reality. For demonstrating the transformative impact of a life devoted to cause greater than self.

Today, we honor and dedicate this #351GratitudeMoment to the Class of 2011.
