Make a positive difference one heart at a time.

"It wasn't a question of can or can't, it is a question of will or won't. Success comes with do not don't. Keep your goals high like stars in the sky. You'll gain success and much happiness."

The World of Work Program at Sacopee Valley High School provides a non-traditional hands-on, integrated, therapeutic, learning approach for students with special needs. The program offers training for our students in career exploration, transition planning, social and communication skills, vocational instruction, life skills opportunities, and academic challenges. Depending upon individual needs, and interests, some students have participated in any number of vocational experiences in and out of the classroom.
Currently, the WOW program creates, markets, and sells products in the school and the local community. Several of our more popular products include beef jerky, recycled felted sweater mittens, pine-cone wreaths, hot pepper jelly, aprons, and rustic garden furniture. Other products include gifts in a jar, dips in a cone, beaded jewelry, book baubles and beaded cup covers.
Throughout the years the WOW program has donated funds to local families in need, sponsored participants in charity walks and races, donated to the Brownfield Food Pantry, provided warm meals for community members suffering from grief and illness, donated to global charities including United Nations Life Nets and Haitian Relief, provided wood for families without electricity or a heat source, donated gas cards to families, and sent numerous care packages to members of the armed forces.
Our program focuses on building self-esteem in our students while empowering them to become concerned responsible citizens who give back to the community. The WOW program greatly appreciates the support we have received from our community.
