2026 summer Celebration
In May 2026, the Anaya Village came together to celebrate a remarkable year of achievement. More than 55 scholars, mentors, families, and supporters joined us to recognize the dedication and accomplishments of our scholars.
A special thank you to Monika Mitra, Darren Fabbri, and Julia Dyck for sharing their experiences and insights. Their reflections highlighted the many paths to success and reinforced the value of mentorship, resilience, and community support. As we celebrate our graduating scholars and welcome a new cohort, we are reminded that no one achieves their goals alone. We are grateful to everyone who continues to invest in our scholars and help create opportunities for them to thrive.
We would also like to thank Welcome Home for generously providing college prep items to our incoming scholars. This is the second year of our partnership and we are thankful for many more!
2025 Ice Cream Celebration
Despite pouring rain, our community came together in full spirit for our “Sweet Celebration” Ice Cream Social on June 7, hosted at Cory Little’s beautiful home in Winchester. Scholars, mentors, families, and supporters gathered to share in a joyful afternoon filled with connection, laughter, and of course—delicious treats, from strawberry ice cream with M&Ms to mango sorbet topped with coconut shavings.
The event was a meaningful opportunity to celebrate the Anaya Scholars Class of 2025, including graduates like Nelissa Timothee, whose journeys have taken them to institutions such as Boston University, Bryn Mawr, Columbia, Middlebury, Dartmouth, and Suffolk. We also proudly welcomed our newest cohort—the Class of 2029—doubling both our incoming class and our impact, as 12 remarkable young leaders begin their journey with us.
