The Let’s Get Ready Framingham, Mass. program recently kicked off its spring semester. The program has all of the LGR staples: Two site directors, check. Coaches, check. And our highest program enrollment yet with more than 50 high school students, check. But this time there is also something new to the Framingham site: men…males…guys…dudes… however you want to say it, this program now has it.
The Framingham program has long been run through a partnership with Wellesley College — Wellesley being an excellent liberal arts college for women. But as this LGR program serves high school students of both genders we are excited to be adding some Babson College gentlemen into the mix. The importance and positive impact of male mentors has been studied and Let’s Get Ready is excited to bring their great influence to this program and the lives of our students. (Babson is co-ed and we are also excited about partnering with Babson ladies as well.)
The spring program will be run by our two amazing site directors, one each from Wellesley and Babson, and LGR is excited by what might pop up from this new partnership — new dimensions, different ideas and perspectives.
