Mass Academy relies on the kindness and generosity of the community to help provide the best education possible to its students. Learn more about how you can volunteer or donate to help support Mass Academy.
Volunteer
Mass Academy welcomes those who would like to help shape and inform our students’ educational experiences through volunteering. Below are examples of ways alumni, parents, and friends can work with Mass Academy students:
- Serve as a judge for the annual science fair
- Host a Mass Academy intern at your company or organization
- Mentor a young engineer on a formative STEM project
- Deliver a guest lecture on a topic that will impact or inspire a future scientist
- Join the students in celebrating Computer Science Week, Day of Diversity, or STEM Education Week
Life gets busy, but taking the time to volunteer can make a huge impact on your life and the lives of students. Email Mass Academy today to learn more.
Donate
Mass Academy is the only public school in the Commonwealth funded out of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Budget, and not supported by Chapter 70 funds; therefore, generating funds to supplement our legislative subsidy is critical. Please consider making a donation (PDF) to support and promote talented STEM students who will become the leaders and innovators of tomorrow.
Financial support from donors helps us provide:
- New STEM equipment for the classrooms
- Scholarships for students to present at national science and engineering symposiums
- Equipment for our maker space
- Materials for elective course offerings like Arduinos and Biotechnology
- Materials for student research projects
- Classroom technology, including new interactive boards for the classrooms and desktop computers
- Student transportation to math competitions and science and research conferences
- Tablets for students’ Apps for Good projects
Mass Academy’s state budget cannot possibly support these needs to ensure a quality student experience; only through your generosity is all of this possible. Please contact the Mass Academy director, Anne Ludes, with any questions.
Matching Gifts
It is important to note that many corporations have matching gift programs. Because Mass Academy is a tax-exempt (501-c-3) organization as a public school, it is eligible for matching gift programs, so your donation can double!
