Cheryl Cummings has spent more than two decades helping mission-driven organizations grow — building strategies, strengthening teams, and connecting people to causes worth believing in. For the past six years, she has brought that experience to bear at Blue Hill Observatory & Science Center, where she serves as Director of Strategic Partnerships.
By including Blue Hill Observatory in your will or estate plan, you help ensure that this extraordinary scientific and historic legacy continues for generations to come — that the climate record keeps growing, that students keep climbing this hill, and that the doors of the Observatory stay open to scientists, educators, and the curious public long into the future.
From April break through the end of August, Blue Hill Observatory has programs for students of all ages — from week-long nature adventures for elementary schoolers to an intensive meteorology career program for high schoolers. Here's everything coming up this spring and summer.
On April 18th, hundreds of community members will ascend Great Blue Hill together for one of Greater Boston's most beloved Earth Day traditions.
