Project 351 has given me incredible opportunities and skills that have not just encouraged my growth as a leader, but also as a person. I have never felt so supported, accepted, and confident as I do when I'm working with my 351 community. My life has truly been changed, and I see the world through a different lens. Project 351 is the truest definition of hope, and I am grateful everyday for the difference it has made in my life.

ABOUT PROJECT 351
PROJECT 351 is a transformative leadership development program that cultivates a new generation of change makers, civic leaders, and social entrepreneurs. By effort and example, 35ONE leaders forge strategies and solutions that build a more just, inclusive, and equitable world.
Project 351’s leadership model – the only one of its kind in the nation – begins with an intentional journey of service, civic engagement, and leadership development for eighth grade unsung heroes (Ambassadors) representing the Commonwealth’s 351 cities and towns. For a year’s term, Ambassadors unite to build the skills, knowledge, empathy, and courage required to lead bold change.
Transformed by their Ambassador year, high school Alumni continue to develop skills and lead statewide social change through our Leadership Continuum. A robust portfolio of leadership, service, and career development opportunities engage high school Alumni as capacity builders, mentors, and program leaders.
Powered by purpose, members of our Alumni community lead as founders of innovative nonprofits and foundations, social and racial justice activists, enlisted military and AmeriCorps members, and mission-driven professionals in education, environment, and global health.
Project 351 is an independent nonprofit entirely funded by the generosity of values-aligned individuals, foundations, and corporations. As Project 351 enters its 15th year in January, our Alumni community has a goal to raise $25,000 – $25k for the Class of ‘25 - by Launch Day on January 25, 2025, to ensure the next generation of Ambassadors is afforded the same opportunities that our Alumni were! Your donation of any size is an investment in our youth and their futures!
Project 351 is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a tax identification number: 45-4103159. All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law and are accepted with sincere gratitude.
