Mission
TPZ'S PROGRAM IS A STEAM-INFUSED AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP-FOCUSED YOUTH DEVELOPMENT AND CAREER-READINESS PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM HISTORICALLY UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITIES. THIS TUITION-FREE PROGRAM REPRESENTS AN INVESTMENT IN EACH STUDENT FOR 3+ YEARS, TAKING STUDENTS ON A JOURNEY WHERE THEY TAP INTO THEIR CREATIVITY, CULTIVATE KEY DURABLE AND 21ST CENTURY SKILLS, BUILD STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH SUPPORTIVE ADULTS AND PEERS, AND BROADEN THEIR SENSE OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE IN THEIR FUTURES. OUR MULTI-FACETED, TUITION-FREE PROGRAM USES: 1) COMPETENCY-BASED CURRICULUM, WITH A FOCUS ON DEVELOPING SKILLS THAT ARE CRITICAL FOR CAREER SUCCESS, PARTICULARLY IN GROWING, FUTURE-FOCUSED INDUSTRIES; 2) HANDS-ON STEAM EXPLORATION AND REAL-WORLD, WORK-BASED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES WITH LOCAL COMPANIES AND IN TPZ'S IN-HOUSE ENTERPRISES; AND 3) PERSONALIZED COLLEGE AND CAREER ADVISING TO INSPIRE STUDENTS' IMAGINATIONS, AND KEY NETWORK BUILDING TO LAUNCH SUCCESSFUL POST-SECONDARY PATHWAYS.
Program accomplishments
- WHILE PARTICIPATING IN TPZ'S PROGRAM, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS DEVELOP KEY COMPETENCIES SUCH AS GROWTH MINDSET, SELF EFFICACY, PROBLEM SOLVING, TEAMWORK, COMMUNICATION, CONTINUOUS LEARNING, AND STEAM AGENCY AS THEY ENGAGE IN INNOVATIVE, PROJECT-BASED LEARNING, EXPLORE AUTHENTIC, REAL-WORLD WORK EXPERIENCE, AND RECEIVE PERSONALIZED ADVISING FOCUSED ON THEIR POSTSECONDARY AND CAREER OPTIONS. TPZ OPERATES ITS PROGRAM OUT OF ITS STATE-OF-THE-ART INNOVATION CENTER, WHICH OPENED IN EARLY 2022 IN THE JACKSON SQUARE COMMUNITY OF BOSTON. TPZ'S PROGRAM AND STUDENT SUPPORTS AIM TO FOSTER "ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT" AMONG STUDENTS, CHARACTERIZED BY: (1) A SENSE OF BELONGING, AGENCY, PURPOSE, AND POSSIBILITY; (2) CRITICAL SKILLS, MINDSETS, AND ASSETS THAT ENABLE DEEPER LEARNING, PROMOTE PRODUCTIVE RISK-TAKING, AND ULTIMATELY FOSTER SUCCESS IN ANY EDUCATIONAL OR CAREER PATHWAY; AND (3) THE STRONG RELATIONSHIPS AND NETWORKS (I.E., SOCIAL CAPITAL) NEEDED FOR LONG-TERM PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS.TPZ FOCUSES NEW STUDENT RECRUITMENT ON PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS IN BOSTON. TPZ ALSO RECRUITS STUDENTS FROM THE COMMUNITY SURROUNDING ITS INNOVATION CENTER, VIA COMMUNITY RECRUITMENT EVENTS AND PARTNERSHIPS WITH PUBLIC HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS AND COMPLEMENTARY YOUTH-SERVING ORGANIZATIONS IN THE AREA. STUDENTS WITHIN THE TPZ'S PROGRAMS RECEIVE SCHOLARSHIP STIPENDS FOR ENROLLING AND PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM; STIPENDS ARE DESIGNED TO OFFSET THE COST OF THEIR PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM. MANY STUDENTS USE STIPENDS THEY RECEIVE THROUGH THE PROGRAM FOR BASIC NEEDS SUCH AS TRANSPORTATION, FOOD, CLOTHING, OR ASSISTANCE WITH HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES. SINCE ITS FOUNDING, TPZ HAS SERVED MORE THAN 2,000 STUDENTS IN BOSTON AND CAMBRIDGE, MA. DURING THE ORGANIZATION'S FIRST-GENERATION PROGRAMMING, STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN TPZ'S PROGRAM LAUNCHED MORE THAN 400 ENTREPRENEURIAL VENTURES. THROUGHOUT TPZ'S HISTORY, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM REPORTED STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT GROWTH ON THE VAST MAJORITY OF SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING COMPETENCIES, ESSENTIAL FOR COLLEGE, CAREER, AND LIFE. SINCE LAUNCHING THE NEXT-GENERATION PROGRAMMING IN BOSTON, OUR STUDENTS, ON AVERAGE, PARTICIPATE IN AN ADDITIONAL 215 WEEKS OF LEARNING TIME BEYOND THEIR SCHOOL INSTRUCTION THROUGH TPZ PROGRAMMING. OVER THEIR FIRST THREE TERMS AT TPZ, THEY EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN THEIR: JOB-SEEKING SKILLS, NETWORKING SKILLS, AND OVERALL SOCIAL NETWORK DIVERSITY.
