We Are Wily
The Wily Network serves Boston area students who are navigating college without a safety net. Wily partners with Scholars throughout their college experiences, working with them to manage challenges and celebrate successes at each stage of their educational journeys.
Wily helps students identify and achieve their academic, professional, and life goals through:
- clinical coaching
- financial support
- community building
- professional development
We Are Wily
Wily Scholars are promising students who are experiencing life challenges such as homelessness or foster care, or whose parents may be deceased, dealing with addiction, mental health issues, or incarceration. The Wily Network provides a critical safety net for these Scholars as they navigate college independently. The Wily program offers weekly clinical coaching, financial assistance, community-building support, and networking opportunities to help them move from surviving to thriving.
Wily Network Initiatives
The Wily Network has adopted three initiatives to help us continue to build on our foundation, expand our network, and improve our programming.
- Expansion: We’re expanding our organization to serve more Scholars and meet the growing need for our services. Learn more about our open positions.
- Mental Well-Being: From funding therapy to conducting research on mental health services, Wily has worked on on a range of projects to prioritize Scholars’ mental health.
- Career Fair: Our Career Fair exposes Scholars to job and internship opportunities. Learn how you and your company can support the Career Fair.

Support the Wily Pack
Students navigating college independently face a variety of systemic barriers, and it can be difficult to access everything college has to offer. Wily provides students with tangible and intangible benefits to fill these gaps and provide a supportive partnership during their college experience.
You can help Wily provide these additional resources so Scholars can focus on what they came to school to do: get their degrees.
Thank you to our Supporters
We are so grateful to the corporations, foundations, and community partners who supported Wily through 2022 and to date.
