North Quadrant Support Services

The North Quadrant Support Services initiative builds on the highly successful 21-year academic partnership between the Medical School and the North Quadrant of the Worcester Public Schools. This program aims to address some of the socioeconomic barriers to academic success faced by many of the students in this school district. With the support of the Remillard Family Community Service Fund, UMass Chan has addressed a number of needs which include: stocking a food pantry at the North High School to supply nutritiously balanced food, supplying washers and dryers to servce students in need of laundry services and delivering backpacks filled with school supplies to elementary school students to ensure that they are able to start of the school year with the necessary tools to succeed.
