Mission

Founded in 1992, The BELL Foundation (BELL) exists to dramatically increase the academic achievements, self-esteem and life opportunities of children living in low-income, urban communities. BELL“s after school and summer programs feature: tutoring in literacy and math with research-based and multicultural curricula; mentoring from positive adult role models to build self-esteem and respect for others; and experiential learning through guest speakers, field trips and service projects. BELL currently educates nearly 12,000 scholars in 75 public and charter school sites throughout Boston, New York City, Baltimore, Detroit, and Springfield, Massachusetts.
