Since its founding, the Worcester Education Collaborative (WEC) has proudly and resolutely focused on promoting the principles of DEI – Diversity, Equity and Inclusion – in Worcester and beyond. WEC’s belief and commitment is that every child – no matter their race, immigration status, gender identity, socioeconomic background, or ability – deserves access to a good education in a welcoming environment. This is shown in WEC’s mission to advance excellence and equity in education for all Worcester Public School students. You can see this commitment in the events WEC organizes, the programs it runs, the policies it fights for, and the partnerships it builds.
The ideal leader of WEC is an enterprising, relationship-driven, strategic, and adaptable nonprofit executive who understands education policy and advocacy, and excels in community engagement, partnership building, fundraising, and public representation
At a time when fundamental rights and democratic values face unprecedented challenges, the Worcester Education Collaborative (WEC) reaffirms our unwavering commitment to advancing equity and excellence in education. As policies and rhetoric threaten to marginalize, exclude, and weaken the promise of a fair and just society, we stand resolute in our belief that education is a cornerstone of a flourishing, pluralistic democracy.
