TPZ students are amazing!
Since our founding in 2011, more than 1,300 students like you have journeyed through The Possible Zone’s (TPZ) entrepreneurship and STEAM programming. And in 2026, up to 1,000 Boston high school students annually will be building valuable and resilient entrepreneurial spirit, skills, and networks that will serve them for life.
Here at TPZ, you’ll find your passions; cultivate essential skills, mindsets, and assets; and shape your future so that you can experience upward economic mobility in your chosen path.
Like you, our students are innovators, problem-solvers, team players, learners, and leaders.
Students who participate in TPZ programs report growth on an array of skills that are associated with personal, academic, and career success, including: strong peer and adult relationships, critical thinking, growth mindset, perseverance, optimism, and teamwork. These are skills that last a lifetime!
Why do we do offer our programs? We know that talent and potential are distributed equally among America’s youth, but that opportunity and the dynamic learning experiences that help youth thrive are not. This is why TPZ recruits proactively in Boston high schools based on both the percentage of students in the school who come from economically disadvantaged households and those schools that have lower college matriculation rates than peer schools. More than 86% of TPZ’s current students come from such schools. The majority of TPZ students live in vibrant but under-resourced communities.

We are able to offer our programs at no cost to students due to the financial support of individuals, foundations, corporations, and public agencies. We invite you to join our community of donors who are committed to our mission.
