DONATE NOW VOLUNTEER ‘Expressing themselves’ T&G article details HopeVid-2020 goals For those looking for an in-depth look at the Worcester Youth Center’s HopeVid-2020 multimedia project and the challenges of putting it together during the pandemic, longtime Worcester Telegram & Gazette Features reporter Richard Duckett delivers a well-written piece. The story can be accessed on the T&G website. Duckett interviews Nydia Colón, WYC’s Director of Creative Leadership, who notes that “we know the arts are a good outlet. Why not create a project that lets kids express how they’re feeling right now — a historical record of how the youth center was feeling at that time — and provide a vehicle to express themselves emotionally.” The article also follows the involvement of 17-year-old Worcester Youth Center member Dante Kubicki, a talented musician whose repertoire includes cello, string bass, electric bass and guitar. “In the music group, we kind of do our own thing and bring it together,” said Dante, a Doherty Memorial High School student. We thank the Telegram & Gazette for its continuing coverage of WYC and its programs. WYC Worcester Youth Center has been serving young people ages 14 to 24 since 1994. Our mission is to provide a safe place where young people can build lasting, positive changes in their lives.
