To Parents, from Parents -- an invitation to join Strong Circle

Dear Project 351 Families,

Last month at Reunion, many of us stood side by side, watching our children lead with empathy, confidence, and purpose. It was one of those moments that stays with you.

As parents, we’ve seen the impact of Project 351 in our own homes, in how our kids show up, speak up, and care for others. Reunion was a powerful reminder that this experience is bigger than any one of our children, it’s a community, and a movement, shaping the next generation of leaders across Massachusetts.

So we’re reaching out, family to family, with a simple invitation:

Will you join us in the Strong Circle?

The Strong Circle is a community of families, alumni, and champions who support Project 351 each year, at whatever level is meaningful to them. Many families choose to give $351 or more, but what matters most is participation.

It reflects what our children practice every day:
Everybody in. Nobody out.

By joining, you’re helping ensure that every young person—no matter their community—has access to this life-changing experience.

If Project 351 has made a difference in your child’s life, we hope you’ll stand with us.

Make your gift and join the Strong Circle

Thank you for being part of this community, and for helping it grow.

With pride,
