Diamond Educators Mentoring Inc.
(DEMI) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving student performance of those youth in low-income neighborhoods and families. DEMI believes that all youth/students must be given opportunities and encouragement to succeed in life (e.g., getting those at risk of not graduating to complete high school; getting those who plan to end their education with a diploma to pursue postsecondary education or training). Since DEMI was established in 2001, we have mentored and helped over 800 youth/students in over 20 Boston Public Schools make measurable gains in academic performance, high school graduation, post secondary enrollment, as well as parental and community involvement.

Concerned Black Men of Massachusetts, Inc.
(CBMM), under the leadership auspices of its Standing Committee on Education initiated The Paul Robeson Institute for Positive Self-Development. The Paul Robeson Institute was founded to provide a vehicle of educational, emotional and personal support to young Black males and their families. Predicated on the grounds that Black children and their families are at acute risk in today’s society, the Institute was formed to provide a range of early intervention and self-awareness options for elementary age youth and their families.

Eagle’s Nest Learning Center
Eagles Nest Learning Center is a year-round program developed to meet the unique needs of school-aged boys in grades 1-6. During the school year, we operate after school and provide transportation for many of our students in the program. During the summer, we offer a content-rich, full day program for students in the Boston area.
We help boys navigate the physical, mental emotional and spiritual challenges of boyhood. At ENLC, boys develop academically, establish friendships, enjoy the outdoors and channel their natural aggression in positive acceptable ways.
We teach values such as honor, integrity, self-control, discipline, honesty and personal responsibility. As a faith-filled program, we also share the love of Christ with our students.
Our experienced staff offer mentoring, tutoring and encouragement to boys.

The Fenn School
The Fenn School in Concord, Massachusetts, is dedicated to meeting the academic, athletic, artistic, and social needs of boys as they grow from children to young adults in grades 4-9. Founded in 1929 as a single-sex private school, Fenn knows boys. It is one of the best prep schools in Massachusetts for boys.
Our dedicated teachers and superb curriculum challenge each boy to grow and learn every day. A Fenn education includes rigorous academics taught in small classes, as well as athletics, arts programs, leadership development, and community service. Teachers also serve as advisors and coaches, getting to know each boy well from fourth grade through ninth grade.
In every aspect of school life, we teach and model our core values of honesty, empathy, respect, and courage. They provide the basis for teaching our boys how to become the young men we all want them to be. We welcome you to learn more about all that Fenn can offer your son in his journey toward adulthood.
