Working for Worcester, which started in a Holy Cross dorm room as an idea to help Worcester kids in 2012, has become a more than $1 million investment in the City’s recreational spaces and schools just five years later.
The project, designed to promote city pride and provide necessary improvements to Worcester’s recreational spaces and schools, was featured on WBZ-TV’s “Eye on Education” segment on Tuesday, May 31.
Reporter Paula Ebben visited the Rice Square School where volunteers partnered with Unum to convert a basement storage room into a multipurpose STEAM room and install a new playground. She also interviewed students and administrators at The Mill Swan Head Start Center where volunteers installed natural learning stations in the courtyard.
This is not the first time the project has caught the media's attention: it’s been covered by local, regional and national media including the “NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.”
Watch the WBZ-TV segment on the CBS Boston website.
