TPZ students are amazing!

Since our founding in 2011, more than 1,800 students like you have journeyed through The Possible Zone’s (TPZ) exciting programming. And in 2026, more than 500 high school students in the state  will be building valuable and resilient entrepreneurial spirit, in-demand skills, and strong 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 that they grow skills that are associated with personal, academic, and career success, including: strong peer and adult relationships, critical thinking, growth mindset, perseverance, communication, 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 we offer programs at our Innovation Center located in the vibrant Jackson Square neighborhood–two miles from 20% of all Boston high school students and easily accessible via the MBTA–and at Lawrence High School!

I think because of every TPZ program I have been in—Discover, Ideate, Incubate, all of those—I definitely think I’ve been able to make the progress I’ve made in my business.
