Girls Inc. of Worcester

Let me be very clear, the reason this rating is one star is because you can not rate this establishment with 0 Which is what they truly deserve! My daughter attended summer camp this summer and repeatedly complained about the staff and the way she was treated! If you have a child that is of color DO NOT bring them to this establishment! I personally witnessed Allison James speak to staff of color in a demeaning tone as if they were incompetent. Allison James then proceeded to make jokes about the interaction with summer camp director Zachary Roy behind the front desk. My daughter did not return to camp for any additional weeks after witnessing this incident. Today my daughter and I saw one of her staff in the neighborhood. The staff member mentioned that they had been fired by Allison James and shared many other employees of color had been recently fired across multiple programs! Since my daughter has been apart of girls inc of Worcester we have seen high rates of turnover in staff of color! This needs to be evaluated on a national level. It was also shared with me that negative reviews are often removed from google. IF YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER OF COLOR DO NOT SEND THEM TO THIS PREJUDICE ESTABLISHMENT! ALLISON JAMES AND VICTORIA WATERMEN NEED TO BE REMOVED FROM THEIR POSITIONSThank

They need to do better, I been trying to get my child into one of their programs which was advertised at my child's school, and when I reached Girls Inc of Worcester no body knows what to do, neither return my calls, if this is the way they handle business I wouldn't even trust sending my kid there.

I’ve been to this place since 3rd grade for after school program. I hated this place bc the staff were mean to the kids there. The staff there don’t care about the girls at the program they are really there for the money. I am 16 now and I hear complains from my friends about this place when they were younger too. Tbh they make it seem such an awesome place to drop ur kids off for the day but once ur kids walk into the doors the game begins. Also they have teens who help the kids with their hw but it’s like they aren’t trained. The also serve snack and sometimes dinner. This is my experience.

My daughter went there from second grade to the fifth grade. During the third year, her fifth grade a lot of the older college students who were employed left and they hired the teens that went there to begin with. My daughter started being treated terrible by the younger staff. Till this day this girls have favorites and talk to these girls with attitude. I try not to send her there but I do a couple of times a month. Parents be careful and ask your child how the staff treats them. We should not pay to have our kids verbally and mentally abused. This is a place that claims to give the girls the value of being strong, smart, and bold. But are they doing what they say? This is so sad! The teen staff are bullies.

It was a decent place when I went there I just wish I had the courage (I’m scared of commitment)to join the Eureka program but now it’s to late. All my friends seem to the program so I’ll give them 5 stars on their behalf.
