Campaign Story
Creative Hub Worcester After School Program is raising money for Giving Tuesday! - CHW After School is a state-subsidized After School Program for Worcester youth that focuses on the Arts and creativity - serving young people ages 6-14 in our community!
Our goal is to raise $5,000 in the next 5 days to help sustain our program! Help us today!
How does Creative Hub After School Program benefit the Worcester community?
- 30 young people attend our program every single day, Monday-Friday 2:30pm-5:30pm, for the entire school year.
- Our students get access to one-on-one homework assistance
- Our students get access to free and healthy snacks every single day after school
- Many of our students are in the foster care system, or their families are considered low-income
- Perhaps most significantly, we are the ONLY state-subsidized Arts-focused after school program in the city of Worcester, which means that families who are below a certain income level receive reduced or free childcare.
EACH AND EVERY DONATION, NO MATTER THE AMOUNT, GETS US ONE STEP CLOSER TO OUR GOAL.
