Ways to Support
YOUR SUPPORT CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
​
Your support enables us to match more students with dedicated mentors who guide, encourage, and open doors to opportunities that may otherwise be out of reach. These 1:1 relationships have an incredible impact—research shows that students with mentors are more likely to graduate, succeed academically, and feel prepared for the future. The impact of a NSU mentor can be life-altering, as shared by one NSU alumnus:
I've been able to have someone who understands the struggles of the education system, and is able to guide me through a lot of it...It's nice to have someone who's got my back and will stand beside me, whatever it might be that I'm facing.
​
There are several ways to support Needham Steps Up. You can spread awareness through word-of-mouth and social media, volunteer your time and skills, and/or donate to our cause.

NSU students often contend with insurmountable challenges that can make accessing the full Needham High School experience difficult, including graduating on time, going to college or pursuing other post-secondary opportunities. Through a dedicated 1:1 mentor relationship for all four years of high school, social-emotional learning, self-advocacy skill development, college application support, and more, NSU helps students realize a new narrative today and in the future. Your partnership can make all the difference.
