A New School Year, New Connections, and Exciting Opportunities!
Fall is off to a fantastic start at Shepherds, and we’re excited to share all the latest news, milestones, and memorable moments from our growing community!
Our Fall 2026 Newsletter highlights the many ways our students, mentors, families, and supporters are making a difference. From welcoming our newest Class of 2030 mentors and celebrating the start of the 2026–2027 school year to exciting college visits, community service projects, and extraordinary student experiences, there’s so much to celebrate!
Inside this issue, you’ll read about our students’ inspiring journey to Lourdes, France, our seniors’ college tours to Southern Connecticut State University and UConn, a rewarding day of service at Seaside Park, and a special nursing immersion experience at Sacred Heart University.
We’re also excited to introduce new members of the Shepherds team and Board of Directors, share heartwarming mentor-mentee stories, and recognize the generous foundations and community partners whose continued support makes our mission possible.
Thank you for being part of the Shepherds community! Your encouragement, generosity, and commitment help us continue opening doors and creating brighter futures for the young people we serve.
