"Growing up, my home was filled with passion, color, an emphasis on creative self-expression, and spirituality. This experience was incredibly impactful, providing a meaningful platform to not only explore my success in life, but my deep and challenging hardships, loss, and difficult life lessons." ~Sarina

On Friday, the Worcester office for the Community Services program welcomed Sgt. Gregg Nadeau from the Massachusetts State Police Gang Unit to conduct a training for staff.
Sgt. Nadeau provided extremely helpful tips for staff while conducting home visits and learning more about what is happening in the city of Worcester from his perspective.
Thank you Yaritza and Sgt. Nadeau! It was an amazing training.
Throwback Thursday at COMPASS!
Raymond Flynn and Boston Celtics player Reggie Lewis are pictured here visiting the COMPASS After School Program at the Dever School in Columbia Point with former Executive Director (and current Board member) David Manzo circa 1993.
The initial funding for the program came from developer Joe Corcoran who believed in the importance of education and community building for the “new Harbor Point.”

Last Wednesday, COMPASS hosted Dr. Shameka Stanford from Howard University to provide an opportunity for COMPASS staff to learn about how to support disconnected youth with communication disorders.
COMPASS is enthusiastic about continuing its partnership with Dr. Stanford to provide additional ways to support the youth and families COMPASS serves on a daily basis.
That's the ticket!!
