The NextGen Mentoring Program at Cambridge-South Dorchester High School provides one-on-one mentorship and group activities focused on personal growth, academic success, and leadership development. Designed for students facing significant challenges, including poverty and underrepresentation, the program helps build confidence, resilience, and the skills needed to succeed in school and beyond. Join us in shaping the next generation of leaders!
Just a Kid From Cambridge is a storytelling project highlighting the journeys of our graduating seniors from the NextGen Program. Through personal stories, we showcase their diverse ambitions, achievements, and growth, challenging the perception of being "just a kid from Cambridge." This initiative shines a light on the resilience, talent, and potential of our youth as they prepare to step into futures as leaders in their communities and beyond. From future psychologists to entrepreneurs, our seniors are defying the odds and inspiring the next generation.
Each high school senior enrolled in the NextGen Program is paired with an Elementary Student. The Elementary program meets before school twice a month for breakfast.
