"It meant the world to me knowing that there's people who are here to back me." 💙
For many young people, that support can change everything.
Through WCAC's Job & Education Center, youth gain work experience, build confidence, develop new skills, and discover opportunities they may never have imagined for themselves. Most importantly, they learn that they don't have to navigate their future alone.

Head Start isn't just a preschool — it's a lifeline for the whole family. 💛
This year, Worcester Community Action Council's center-based Head Start program served 175 children in early education and care, but the impact goes so much further than the classroom.
Through wraparound services, teachers, family advocates, and specialists, we walked alongside families through housing challenges, language barriers, IEP meetings, and so much more. We supported 34 children with IEPs this year, attending evaluations, advocating at meetings, and standing side by side with parents every step of the way.
And then there are moments like this: a little girl who struggled so deeply with confidence that she was diagnosed with selective mutism, who by the end of the year stood up in front of a room full of parents and sang out loud. Her mom was in the crowd in tears. That's Head Start.
Head Start is here for your whole family. 💛

From dinosaurs to outer space, from the Hawaiian shores to infinity and beyond — our WCAC Head Start students proved this year that there are no limits to where they can go! 🦕🌺🚀✨
We wrapped up another incredible school year with our annual Certificate Day and what a year it has been! It has been an honor to serve our families and to be trusted with the care and education of their little ones. That means the world to us.
This year, we are proudly sending 76 children off to kindergarten ready to thrive thanks to the strong foundation built through Head Start.
