5 DAYS TO RAISE 5K!

Creative Hub Worcester is launching our first initiative - a state-funded After School Program for Worcester youth that will focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) Curriculum!

Our goal is to raise $5,000 in the next 5 days to start our program! Help us today!


How will Creative Hub After School Program benefit the Worcester community?

  • 39 at-risk, K-6 grade youth whose families receive government-subsidized support will be eligible for our after school care program.
  • Numerous adults will be hired and trained to teach the Creative Minds Out of School curriculum.
  • 44% of students in the WPS speak a first language other than English and will benefit from community oriented programming and a social environment after school.
  • 82% of students in the WPS are categorized as "high needs" - low-income, ELL, or students with disabilities, who will greatly benefit from an engaging and fun STEAM-based curriculum.

EACH AND EVERY DONATION, NO MATTER THE AMOUNT, GETS US ONE STEP CLOSER TO OUR GOAL.

This program has the potential to begin serving Worcester’s students as soon as March 2018, but we need your support to make it happen. Your donation will benefit dozens of Worcester Public School children in 2018, and for the rest of their lives. Contribute to the Creative Hub Afterschool Program today!

Creative Hub Worcester is a non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization.

We Need Your Help Spreading The Word

At its heart, Creative Hub Worcester is a grassroots organization driven by the passion of artists and art educators Laura Marotta and Stacy Lord. Stacy and I are both teachers in the public school system, and every day we see the desperate NEED for accessibility to Arts programs in our community!
