Project 351 has been a complete life changer for me, and has helped my ability to be a changemaker and empowered leader. I was surprised and confused when I was first selected as an Ambassador in Eighth Grade. I didn't think that I had it in me, or that I could lead drives that would change the lives of those around me. Through the leadership training that Project 351 provided, I not only was taught how to lead impactful drives but also how to apply my own skills and interests to them. In the past year, Project 351 has given me the opportunity to be an AMC, leading eighth graders in their own Ambassador year and helping them live their service journey.
To say it succinctly, Project 351 has made me a better person and has allowed me to make real, consequential changes for those around me. Support Project 351 to ensure that we are successful in developing more community-minded leaders dedicated and motivated to make long-lasting change!

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.
