On behalf of myself, our team and the students / communities we serve, I wanted to take the time to say thank you to our existing and prospective Sponsors and Partners for your support this past year. This has been a tremendously successful and eventful year for Empower Yourself. Here are just a few things your support helped us achieve this year:

We continued advancing STEM education through powerful partnerships with MIT/Lincoln Labs, GreenSight, and Northeastern University, providing our students with advanced hands-on learning experiences, real-world mentorship, and cutting-edge technology such as 3D printers and laser cutters.

Our students placed 1st in a regional drone competition, hosted by the Aerospace Robotics Competition (ARC), and placed 3rd amongst the top 12 nationally thanks in large part to support and lessons from the exceptional team at Lincoln Labs / MIT. All participating students also earned an official certification in Remote Piloting from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Our students won 2nd and 4th place in a national investment competition, demonstrating their growing mastery of financial literacy, long-term strategy, and market analysis.

We proudly expanded financial and investment literacy education with the ongoing support of Bentley University, ensuring students gain the knowledge and confidence required to build sustainable futures.

Our students were provided with numerous internship pathways in both STEM and finance; continuing our mission of preparing them with real-world experiences before they even graduate high school.

Three of our seniors graduated last year and have gone on to pursue degrees in various STEM fields at prestigious colleges, such as: UMass Lowell and Northeastern University.

These are just a handful of our achievements and success stories from the past year. We ask that you please consider contributing in 2026 to continue supporting our long-held trend and tradition of preparing students to be future leaders for not only their communities but for industries and the world over.

Thank you for your support and contribution towards the future!
