This spring, the Boston Mayor’s Office issued an official commendation to the Clemente Course at Codman Square, celebrating 25 years of free, college-level humanities education for adults in Boston. Linda Dolan, herself a graduate of the program, prompted the mayor's office to consider the honor, and they did. The Boston Clemente Course in Dorchester is supported by Mass Humanities along with several other sites across Massachusetts.

You will live as long as your life has meaning. I embarked on this educational journey to satisfy my life’s desire to learn. This opportunity crossed my path at the right moment and is supplying me with the chance to evaluate my ability to perform on the college level with like-minded people within the veteran’s community, where a person can always find support. All of the instructors and staff are helpful! Thank you for this possibility. – George, Coast Guard, Ocean City, NJ The New Jersey Clemente Course Veterans Initiative (CCVI) launched its second cohort on September 25, 2025, welcoming twenty-four veterans from every branch of service.
