Inspiring & Equipping Lowell
Students for College, Career & Life.
Our Mission
Project LEARN is a 501(c)(3) organization that believes every young person in Lowell deserves the opportunity to learn, succeed, and thrive. Since 2013, our organization has developed and coordinated dozens of innovative programs that have touched the lives of tens of thousands of students, families, and educators in Lowell.
Vision
As a mission-driven organization, Project LEARN is working to:
Ensure that all Lowell students have equitable access to high-quality educational experiences that prepare them for postsecondary education and a career of their choosing;
Expand access to high-quality experiential learning and pre-professional work experiences that equip students with career connections, support networks, and transferable skills that instill confidence and expand future opportunities;
Support youth-led programs and youth-adult partnerships that amplify student voice, develop student leadership skills, and involve students in decision-making processes that positively impact their educational experiences; and
Develop a sustainability charitable fund that supports innovative educational projects led by Lowell students and educators.
Equity Commitment
While Project LEARN has been focused on equity since its inception, our organization has adopted a more explicit emphasis on antiracism and educational justice in recent years. In March 2021, Project LEARN’s board of directors approved the following resolution: “It is hereby resolved that Project LEARN is committed to promoting equity, inclusion, and antiracism through (1) cultural competency and antiracism education and training; (2) equitable and inclusive funding, fundraising, and purchasing decisions; (3) diverse racial representation at all levels of Project LEARN governance; (4) student, family, and educator involvement in policy and program design; and (5) advocacy for policies that improve equitable access and outcomes to high-quality educational programs for racial and ethnic minorities.” Project LEARN will evaluate progress on the above resolution through a biannual evaluation of organizational policies, programs, and practices.
