This program is supported in part by a grant from the Lowell Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

** I chose UTEC because each time we rent space there, go to Café UTEC, or choose them for catering, we offer young people real life work experience, helping to prepare them for jobs when they complete the UTEC program—and some additional hours of much needed pay. If you haven’t seen it, the space is beautiful and affordable. Please consider supporting our youth when you have an event. It’s such an easy way to make a difference.
