Ten years ago, I joined the board of Posse Boston (I have chaired the board for the last 4 years), and every day I am inspired and awed by the voices and the accomplishments of our scholars and alumni.  In this moment when systemic inequalities and global challenges are impossible to ignore, I know I am contributing to positive change when I support the Posse program and their young leaders. Posse fosters collaborative voices in our most promising students. When they rise as leaders in their careers and communities, Posse Scholars become the ones creating and supporting meaningful change. Its been the core of Posses work since 1989. Posse was inspired by a student who said he never would have dropped out of college if he'd had his posse with him. The simple idea: send a team (a Posse) of diverse students together to college and set them up for success. They've now supported almost 10,000 students nationwide in winning $1.5 billion in scholarships from Posse's partner colleges with a 90% graduation rate! Posse spans 10 cities and has a special program for post-9/11 U.S. veterans. Posse stands for everything I believe in. Please join me in supporting this next generation of leaders.
