In her 15 years at YOU, Inc. Kate Pesa, Director of the Career Pathways Program, has been an unwavering champion for not just the students in her own program, but for the thousands of youth and families we serve across the agency.

July 1, 2023, will mark my 28th anniversary as President of Seven Hills Foundation and my 50th year as a healthcare leader. I’ve decided it’s time to begin to transition my role to the next generation of leadership. I have thought long and hard about this, and while it is still surreal to write, I have decided to retire on June 30, 2023. That is just about six months from today. 

Seven Hills Foundation is grateful to the Haley Cremer Foundation for their ongoing commitment to the children served at the Carriage House Grief Support Center in Worcester.

We would like to express our gratitude to DCU For Kids for their continued support of the Carriage House Grief Support Center with their recent grant of $12,500. The Carriage House, a program of YOU, Inc. is a place for children and teens who have lost a parent, primary caregiver, or siblings to be with their only real peers- other grieving kids. Under the guidance of our trained volunteers, youth are able to process and heal, none of which would be possible without the support of our generous funders like DCU For Kids!

It is with much gratitude and excitement that we share the TOWARDS A CULTURE OF ACCESS REPORT 2022 with findings from the Massachusetts Arts & Culture Access Survey conducted by Open Door Arts, an affiliate of Seven Hills Foundation in 2021-2022.
