TPZ Students & Alumni

Boston high school students bring their whole selves to TPZ. These innovators, problem-solvers, and team players dream big at TPZ… and they learn how to bring their big ideas to life. Over the course of up to three years, they build and strengthen transferable durable and technical skills that benefit them in the paths they carve for themselves, in industries such as healthcare, the skilled trades, advanced manufacturing, and for some of our older alumni, as entrepreneurs.

We are equipped to inspire and promote success with all our students, many who live in communities where opportunities are disproportionately scarce. They are both inspired and inspiring. Supported by an ecosystem of partners, TPZ students pursue opportunities and innovative pathways for college and career. They are setting the groundwork to experience future upward economic mobility.

When I joined The Possible Zone I was very timid and scared – I wasn’t as confident in myself. The Possible Zone changed my high school experience because I just became more eager to learn new things.

When you need to make 25 different iterations to make a project work, you really need to have some level of imagination and also mental stamina. And you can see the process and you can get hyped when you do it.

Without TPZ I wouldn’t even be going to college. I wouldn’t be able to have applied for financial aid. I wouldn’t have been able to explore different universities. I wouldn’t be able to find the college I did.
