My journey with project 351 started on January 14th 2023. Since then I have lead collections benefiting veterans, local teens, children, and myself. Not in the way that I am in need of more, but in the way that I have gained so much from these experiences that it would be silly not to admit I have grown from this. I have grown as a leader, as a friend, as a neighbor, and as a person.
On January 25th, 2025, I will be at the same place with my old friends but also new ambassadors. After two years I find myself filling a new pair of shoes, a pair that will help educate our future leaders and guide them through their year of service.
Together we can work to make the next generation’s leaders compassionate, understanding, empathetic, and empowering people. So whether it’s a dime, dollar, or more, Every donation counts and every donation helps raise our next generation’s leaders.

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.
