Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation

Pursuing Pathways presented by Amtrak sets out to demystify the process that leads to high school students choosing the best post-secondary path by facilitating a unique partnership between Kipp Lynn Charter School and Lynn Public Schools. The goal of the program is to help develop a model that increases the college graduation rate among black and brown students.

The program launched in Spring 2022 with an event at the Auerbach Center where participating students were able to hear from Celtics Front Office Employees as well as Celtics Ambassador Leon Powe about their experiences with higher education. Each student was also surprised with a customized jersey at the end of the event!

Later this season, students in the program will be taking Amtrak to Washington D.C. for a field trip for a tour of Howard University, visit to the Museum of African American History and other exclusive experiences.
