The Worcester Educational Development Foundation (WEDF) proudly supports AVID—Advancement Via Individual Determination, a nationally recognized program that prepares Worcester Public Schools (WPS) students for success in college, careers, and beyond.
AVID focuses on equipping students with the skills they need to thrive academically, including critical thinking, organization, note-taking, writing, and study strategies. By providing targeted support and fostering a college-going culture, AVID helps students build confidence and achieve at higher levels.
Through AVID, WPS students gain access to tutoring, mentoring, and classroom strategies that improve academic performance while also preparing them for college readiness, scholarship opportunities, and long-term success.
By investing in AVID and student achievement, WEDF helps ensure that all Worcester students—especially those traditionally underrepresented in higher education—have the opportunity to fulfill their potential and pursue their goals.
