WHO WE ARE

Advocates, Advisors, Facilitators, Mentors & More

Our Schools

Within each of our member school systems in Hampden and Worcester Counties, our programs are directed by a Career Facilitator who is part of the school system’s staff. These highly trained facilitators work closely with the students who wish to be part of our program. They work to make their educational experience more relevant and valuable.

The Career Facilitators efficiently develop a plan for each student to further their knowledge and skills so the student can acclimate to their futures whether it is a career right out of high school or a higher educational opportunity.
