 Program Spotlight: Worcester Area College Mentoring



The Worcester Area College Mentoring Program serves over 700 kids in Worcester County and recruits its mentors from six area colleges:  Holy Cross, WPI, Clark University, Becker College, Nichols College and Assumption College.  This program began 15 years ago with one sports team and one college, and has grown to be a central part of our strategy for reaching the children who need us most in Worcester County.
