Early Learning Program at Community Teamwork

10/12/2026

October is Head Start Awareness Month, a time to recognize the children, families, educators, and staff who make Head Start such an important part of communities across the country.

For more than 60 years, Head Start has helped children build a strong foundation for school and life while supporting parents and families along the way.

I’m proud to recognize Head Start Awareness Month and the people who make this program possible every day.

Last night was a BIG night for our first cohort of Early Learning Teacher Apprentices!
Our group of 14 apprentices came together for orientation at Middlesex Community College as they kick off their first college course together and begin an exciting journey toward their Early Childhood Education Certificate.
Through CTI Early Learning’s Registered Apprenticeship Program, apprentices will:
• Have their tuition and course materials fully paid for
• Earn while they learn with full-time employment
• Be paired with a mentor for support and guidance
• Gain valuable college education and on-the-job experience
• Complete their coursework and earn an Early Childhood Education Certificate
CTI Early Learning is proud to be a Registered Apprenticeship Program through the Massachusetts Department of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS), creating a pathway for our early educators to grow their skills, advance their careers, and continue doing the important work they love.
We are so excited to watch this group learn, grow, and support one another along the way.
Congratulations to our first cohort! We can’t wait to see where this journey takes you!

💙 Celebrating National Nonprofit Day in Lowell

Today, on National Nonprofit Day, Community Teamwork celebrates the extraordinary nonprofit organizations that make Lowell and Greater Lowell such a caring, connected and resilient community.

Every day, nonprofit professionals, volunteers and supporters work—often quietly and behind the scenes—to feed our neighbors, house families, mentor young people, welcome newcomers, support survivors, care for animals, strengthen neighborhoods, celebrate our cultures and create opportunities for people to thrive.

We are proud to work alongside so many remarkable organizations, including:

Alternative House • Boys & Girls Club of Greater Lowell • Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association • Catholic Charities Merrimack Valley • Center for Hope and Healing • Central Food Ministry • Coalition for a Better Acre • Dwelling House of Hope • Greater Lowell Community Foundation • Greater Lowell YMCA • House of Hope • International Institute of New England • Lowell Association for the Blind • Lowell Humane Society • Lowell Parks & Conservation Trust • Lowell Transitional Living Center • Merrimack Valley Food Bank • Merrimack Valley Housing Partnership • Mill City Grows • New England Quilt Museum • Northeast Legal Aid • Open Pantry of Greater Lowell • Riverbend • The Bridge Club of Greater Lowell • The Salvation Army Lowell Corps • UTEC — and the many other nonprofit, cultural, faith-based and community organizations serving our region.

To our fellow nonprofits: thank you. Thank you for your partnership, your persistence and your unwavering commitment to our neighbors.

Community Teamwork is proud to be part of this incredible network of people and organizations working together to make our community stronger.

Happy National Nonprofit Day! 💙
