Introducing NOG!

Another exciting moment for LSC Boston—and all our Corporate Partners! We are thrilled to announce the launch of our Network of Good tool—or NOG, for short. NOG is a user-friendly digital tool that allows companies of any size to find volunteer opportunities with ease, promote sign-ups for those events, track time engaged in giveback events, and report on engagement metrics and donations. NOG solves the need of being able to capture all the ways companies and employees give back to the community—in an easy to use and centralized platform.

This exciting addition—created by LSC to help streamline how our Corporate and Nonprofit Partners connect and collaborate with each other—is available to all partners in our five locations: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, San Diego, and the San Francisco Bay Area.

We can’t wait for you to see and start using NOG!

Celebrating Seven Years of Partnership with

the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center

LSC Boston is celebrating seven years of partnership with the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC) to grow Project Onramp, which was created in 2019 by Massachusetts’ leading life sciences organizations: MassBio, MassBioEd, the MLSC, and LSC Boston. Since then, 763 students participated in meaningful, and often transformative, internships with 189 companies in the Greater Boston area. 

Through the MLSC’s Internship Challenge, life sciences companies with 100 employees or fewer are eligible to apply for reimbursement of up to $9,600 per intern for gross wages. The MLSC has sponsored approximately ten percent of internships through the Internship Challenge.
