Who We Are
The Presentation School Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit
corporation formed to support education in Allston-Brighton,
which we believe is necessary to maintain a stable and family-based
community. The Foundation has built community partnerships
within Allston-Brighton to expand educational opportunities
and programs in support of local families. Created in 2004,
the Foundation Board is composed of residents, local business,
and community leaders, including elected officials.
Our Mission
To provide educational and community services that strengthen
Boston's diverse Allston-Brighton neighborhood.
Our Goal
To purchase and convert the former Our Lady of the Presentation
School property into a community-based education center and
cornerstone of a "Community Campus" in
historic Oak Square offering youth and family services in cooperation with the
Oak Square YMCA and the Faneuil branch of the Boston Public Library.
Our Blueprint
By encouraging participation from across the community,
we seek to create a comprehensive set of coordinated services
that will promote family and community stability, including:
• Affordable, full-time, year-round preschool
for families
• YMCA after-school programs and summer camps
for local youth
• Educational enrichment programs in science,
math, reading and writing,
and media literacy for children
• Adult
Education programs, including ESL and Civics for immigrants.
