On April 9, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Worcester County
Inc. honored three Holy Cross student organizations with
its Community Service Award for mentoring success, at a ceremony
held in the Hogan Ballroom.
The honorees included members of the men’s lacrosse
team, for its “John’s Brothers” program at
Canterbury Street School; Student Programs for Urban Development
(SPUD), for its Big Brothers Big Sisters program, also at
Canterbury Street School; and the Deaf Studies program for
its Deaf mentoring program at the Accelerated Learning Laboratory
(ALL) School.
Currently, there are over 90 Holy Cross students who volunteer
their time as Big Brothers and Sisters for Worcester children.
They spend an afternoon each week helping their “Littles” with
homework, playing sports, doing crafts and forming friendships.
Holy Cross “Bigs” said goodbye to their “Littles” for
the summer with a field day at the Hart Center on May 1.
