Our Annual Lanterns Awards

Every year since 2000, MOSTe honors those who serve as role models in our communities. Inspired by Marian Wright Edelman’s “Lanterns: A Memoir of Mentors,” we celebrate those who share our passion and goals, and whose accomplishments exemplify the qualities, skills, and principles MOSTe seeks to develop in our scholars.
