The Wily Network

leaf-yellow

The Wily Network partners with college students in the greater Boston area who are working towards their degrees without emotional or financial support from family. 

Wily Scholars bring unique experiences, challenges, strengths and goals to the college journey. Some have experienced homelessness or foster care, some have been denied family support due to their sexual orientation or gender identity, some have lost their parents, and some have family members dealing with addiction, mental illness or incarceration. 

All are talented and motivated, and all are braving college on their own.

The Wily Network partners with Scholars throughout their college experiences, working with them to manage challenges and celebrate successes at each stage of their educational journeys. 

The Rappaport Foundation has awarded the Wily Network $240,000 to enable them to expand, and reach more college students in the greater Boston area.

“Because of the Rappaport Foundation, we will be able to support more Wily Scholars in reaching graduation feeling whole, healthy and balanced. We are so grateful for their incredible generosity.”
