What is your favorite COMPASS memory?
Message from Executive Director Laura Lajewski!
Read full statement here: compassboston.org/news/northstarclub/
"We are extremely fortunate to have many staff members who have dedicated significant portions - and in some cases, all - of their careers to COMPASS. To recognize and celebrate the achievements of those who have more than 25 years of service to COMPASS, we have created the North Star Club."
The group of 15 individuals who make up the inaugural class of inductees have devoted more than 450 collective years of service to COMPASS.
Help us congratulate the inductees!
Wow! This is awesome. David Manzo Yvonne Vest and John Lydon took a chance on me as the very first Northeastern CO-OP student which prepared me and afforded me for my career in Human Services and the awesome opportunity of becoming my first professional job out of college in ‘93. Margy was the best supervisor! Ann Carole was always so sweet to me and treated me like I was family. Mundo , Steve, and Glen- you guys always made it interesting and were great coworkers! Terri was the calmest, coolest guy and awesome educator! And my Miss Peg and Miss Zulima, two of the most wonderful, helpful, and kind women! Congratulations to you all! Love, Bernie (1993-95) ❤️❤️❤️❤️🍾🍾🍾🍾

As the weather starts to warm up, our Community Services staff are able to take advantage of safe, outdoor activities!
Here, 3 Community Services staff and the youth with which they work are trying to make certain shapes with the rope while blindfolded - working on communication and trust. This is just one of the many activities provided by the COMPASS Outdoor Education Program.
Jared and the CSS staff are second to none... What a great team building activity
I THINK I RECOGNIZE THE GUY IN THE HAT HMMMM.
