Fallon Clinic earns Junior Achievement Award
Fallon Clinic in Worcester has been selected for the Gold Key Award by Junior Achievement of Central Massachusetts, recognized for "Implementing Extraordinary Volunteer Recruitment Programs."
Fallon implemented a program through the Goddard Elementary School of Science and Technology, allowing low-income Worcester Public School students to team up with physician and executive-level volunteers during the 2006-2007 school year. Additionally, the partnership between Junior Achievement and the Goddard School provided a grant and a computer lab.
The students are taught basic business concepts in the program, as well as learning about the value of staying in school. "This is an unusual effort for a first year partnership," said Deb Hopkins, executive director of Junior Achievement. "The caliber and commitment of Fallon Clinic's volunteer teaching team is outstanding."
