JFF Senior Advisor Nancy Hoffman had a letter to the editor published in the Boston Globe recently.

She noted that an earlier Globe editorial supporting plan for a comprehensive early college program in the Boston neighborhood of Charlestown had failed to mention Charlestown High School’s existing Early College and Career Pathways program, which JFF supports.

“Today at Charlestown High, thanks to support from public funds as well as from SAP, the Smith Family Foundation, and the Linde Foundation, early-college students, many of them first-generation, are pursuing college degrees and good careers,” Hoffman wrote. “As the Globe editorial pointed out, in early-college programs across the Commonwealth, thousands of students are on track to postsecondary education with free college credits in hand.”
