In the fall of 2012, Holy Cross junior roommates Jeff Reppucci and Derek Kump decided that they wanted to step outside their campus gates and learn a bit more about the greater city of Worcester, MA—a city that, despite being the second-largest in New England, can feel like it's far removed for many of the 35,000+ college students who call Worcester home every year. Being college hockey players, Reppucci and Kump’s natural connection to the community was through sports. They visited recreational spaces like parks and schoolyards but found spaces that were either non-existent or in serious disrepair. Thus, the inspiration for Working for Worcester was born: Reppucci and Kump launched an organization dedicated to mobilizing college students to improve recreation infrastructure and opportunities within neighborhoods across the city.

$2 million and 10 years later, Working for Worcester 501c3 has built over 23 playgrounds and made an impact on over 180 sites across the city of Worcester. To learn more contact us at info@workingforworcester.com
