Urban Outreach Initiatives

What We Do

Creating a more just world requires training transformational educators who prioritize social justice and equity in classrooms and organizations.

Our Office of Urban Outreach Initiatives (UOI) oversees several key programs dedicated to preparing tomorrow’s change agents. UOI efforts include the College Bound program and the Donovan Urban Teaching Scholars program.

Our Programs

College Bound

The College Bound Program empowers students to become forces for positive change in their schools and communities. Through a social justice and STEM lens, students learn about a variety of important issues impacting their communities.
Donovan Urban Teaching Scholars

As part of an intensive one-year M.Ed. program that leads to licensure, Donovan Urban Teaching Scholars learn how to flourish as K–12 teachers in urban schools. The curriculum prioritizes critical inquiry, social justice education, and community building.
Collaborative Partnerships

Urban Outreach Initiatives is involved in several partnerships with Boston College offices, Donovan Scholar and College Bound alumni, and local and national efforts that impact diversity and inclusion within our urban schools and communities.

Helping Students Flourish

The National Science Foundation has awarded a $1.2 million grant
to a unique STEM career pathways program led by Boston College
faculty. The program will serve approximately 1,300 low-income
students from Boston, Framingham, and Waltham.
