Kendall Square Challenge
June 10, 2026 (Rain date: June 11)
Reduced rate for members
Over 50 teams from organizations across Kendall Square gather to compete in a series of physical and mental challenges, all in support of local nonprofits. Then, we celebrate together with a Kendall Square Block Party. Join this event for fun, philanthropy and community!
Thank you to the 500+ people and 55 teams who took over Kendall Square in 2025! Together we raised over $60,000 for 6 local non-profits.
EXPERIENCE KENDALL
The KSA launched the Experience Kendall Campaign to further our efforts to bring people to Kendall Square and showcase everything it has to offer. In 2025–26, we will focus on audiences we believe will especially connect with Kendall—those attending global events, university activities, and science or tech–focused gatherings. Through this work, we aim to spotlight Kendall Square’s legacy of innovation and its global leadership in life sciences and responsible technologies, from AI and climate tech to quantum.

Professional Peer Meetups
We host gatherings to enable people from across Kendall to connect and work collaboratively with their counterparts in similar roles – communications, corporate social responsibility, open space planning and programming, and more – at other Kendall organizations.

Little Libraries
We help people connect through Little Libraries, a collaborative effort started by our members, and supported by all of us. We distribute books each month, typically centered on themes that underscore our Belonging in Kendall program. Members can host a book drive, and fill our libraries with your gently used books.
