For over 135 years, the mission of North Bennet Street School has been to provide vocational training as a path to self-sufficiency and a meaningful, productive life.

That mission is no less relevant today than it was at the School’s inception.

In 2015, we set an ambitious goal: to attract the most qualified students from all backgrounds, to support them in pursuing their career in craft, and to reduce their debt burden upon graduation.

At a time when many question what is

essential for success in life, when student

loan debt is over $1.2 trillion, and when 48%

of college graduates are working at jobs that

do not require a four-year degree, we offer

an alternative path to a rewarding career.

Ultimately, our method seeks to teach people

how to make a living and lead a fuller life.

As the preeminent school of craft, we provide the highest quality education possible. Our mission is focused on hand-skills training that is by nature intensive, intimate, and community oriented.

Together, we kept a promise to the future.

It was a promise to possibility, to excellence, and to the students

who will become leaders in traditional trades and craft.

NBSS set the goals in 2015. Over four years, you fulfilled the

promise through the Lives & Livelihoods campaign:

GOAL REACHED GOAL REACHED GOAL REACHED

With your help, future NBSS graduates will be free to pursue careers based on their passions, with less financial burden. They will go on to shape the future of fine craftsmanship, become the next generation of leaders in their fields, and make a tangible, lasting difference in communities near and far.

Thank you for your generous support.

Your response as a community was truly inspiring. Ultimately, we exceeded our ambitious goal and built an endowment of $20,560,882
