Connecting Communities

This year’s PSU theme, “Connecting Communities,” celebrates community-based partnerships in education. At each event, we will feature a local non-profit, highlighting how community efforts can serve as a unifying force in education. We will also spotlight PSU attendees, schools, and districts for their efforts in positively impacting their communities. Join us as we foster connections and celebrate the power of community engagement this year at PSU.

Welcome, 826 Boston to PSU Boston!

826 Boston is a nonprofit writing, tutoring, and publishing organization where students in grades K-12 and beyond can share their stories, amplify their voices, and develop as leaders in school and in life.

Hear from our previous attendees...

“I am delighted by the possibilities this presents for our team of educators, administrators, and counselors to better serve our students.”

“This was my first-time attending PSU and I loved it! Would absolutely love to attend again in the future. Everyone was very nice and the staff/teachers were very knowledgeable and I truly learned a lot. Thank you to everyone who was involved in the conference!”

“This was a great experience. I found all the instructors were excellent across the board. Every trainer had exceptional content knowledge, pedagogical skills, and genuinely cared the students were learning the content.”
