Boston Higher Education Resource Center

Boston, Massachusetts

Cause Description:
HERC provides academic support, college and career advising, and retention support to under-represented 6th-12th grade students and their families. HERC awakens vision and purpose in the lives of its participants, equipping them to realize their potential to transform lives and communities. The Boston HERC is one of the first of five such sites throughout New England dedicated to the ministry of helping inner-city young people go to college. Since its inception in 1999, the Boston HERC has served over 1,000 kids. The Boston HERC serves a remarkably diverse community through an SAT program, a Christ-centered mentor program, computer-literacy and ESL programs, and a recently-introduced MCAS prep program which is currently being replicated throughout the other HERC sites across the state.
