About Us

Engaging the power of media for a more vibrant, connected, and informed Worcester.

The Worcester Community Media Foundation (WCMF) is dedicated to supporting the use of media for community building, awareness, engagement, information, and cultural production and preservation for all members of Worcester’s diverse community. Through community-based programming, publications, and the Rewind Video Store WCMF seeks to provide pathways for Worcester residents to cultural appreciation, community engagement, social awareness, and media production toward a more just and equitable Worcester for all.

“Through events, community space, and workshops, cultural events, WCMF will break down isolation and silos to increase sense of shared fate across diverse Worcester communities. Building connections to one another and recognition in share struggle, communities can come together to find solutions and advocate for equitable changes.”
