Cross-sector collaboration drives change.
Collaboration is at the heart of our work. Worcester has a tremendous array of community and cultural assets to apply towards its goals and aspirations, and to marshal to solve problems. Our community-based partnerships convene resources on behalf of young children and are designed to bring a collective voice to children's needs and their family's issues.
