Best Neighbor - Worcester Academy

Worcester Academy is an awesome neighbor!! Little did I know when they invited me to be on their Board of Visitors that they were going to showcase Girls Inc's partnership with the Girls Varsity LaCrosse Team as part of the day! When I asked why we were chosen for a dialogue with members Zoe Eth and Mary Claire Pelletier and Coach Erin Flynn, Carolyn Reich, Stewardship and Constituent Relations Officer told me that it was because so many of the girls had identified their work in this very new partnership as the most important and special service project they had done! All I could say...

Girls Inc Rocks.... & Climbs Too!

Girls Inc has a great new partnership with UNUM for a girls' high school leadership development program.

It has been a VERY SPECIAL summer filled with wonderful experiences for the kids who have participated in our summer programs at Winthrop House and Camp Kinneywood - and for the Girls Inc staff and volunteers!

Let me start at the end and work back... a gathering of about 150 proud parents, families, staff and sponsors at Clark University on Friday night celebrated this year's Bruce Wells' Upward Bound scholars. Two of the young women who were honored - Akuah and Dora, pictured with me - honored us with a great two-week internship program here at Winthrop House!! They attended...

TD Banknorth and the Worcester Tornados

And we had a chance to catch up with a few of our nonprofit colleagues. Great night! And, a bit of the truth - we left before the game was over so

Guest Authors - Dora and Akuah!

Hey girls summer interns, Akuah and Dora, talking. We've had a great week so far at the Girls Inc. of Worcester. Each day we learn what goes into running this organization and what we can do to make it better for the next two years.
