Dear Ambassador, It is a great joy to warmly welcome you to Project 351’s youth-led movement of positive change! A movement powered by your kindness and compassion as volunteer, classmate, and friend. And, the quiet and thoughtful ways you make a difference, bring joy to others, and stand up for what you believe in. Your year of leadership and service begins with a high energy celebration -- Launch & Service Day in Boston on Saturday, January 13, 2024. We'll honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King, and celebrate you -- the Ambassador Class of 2024! As an Ambassador, you join a community of 4,891 eighth graders who came before you and embraced the opportunity to serve and lead. Together, their efforts have positively impacted more than 1.2 million neighbors through service -- inspiring evidence of your generation’s extraordinary ability to create positive change. This Ambassador Welcome Packet provides a roadmap of the year of service ahead. Inside you’ll find inspiration, information, and tools to help prepare you for your Ambassador leadership and service. In addition, you’ll receive weekly emails (beginning in December) and invitations to informational calls as we countdown to Launch Day. Please find key dates inside. In this season of gratitude, I’m thankful for your families and educators for inspiring you to be your truest and best self, and for their support of your Project 351 leadership. Their belief makes our mission possible. I send special appreciation for the opportunity to serve with and learn from you. I’m grateful for the hope you inspire, the goodness you represent, the kindness with which you lead, and your commitment to use your gifts to make a difference in your community and our world. I can’t wait to begin! With kindness,
Carolyn Casey Founder and Executive Director
