Remington Middle School eighth grader Cade Taccini has been selected as Franklin’s Project 351 Ambassador. Remington Middle School nominated Cade for her willingness to help whenever needed, strong leadership skills, and ability to serve as a voice of reason among her peers.

 “Cade is the first person to volunteer when she sees something that needs to be done. She completes her work with integrity, seeks to learn, and showcases her creativity and strengths,” said Principal Williams. “She is an active member of our school community, and we are incredibly proud of her commitment to service.”

Project 351 is a statewide youth-led service initiative that brings together eighth-grade students from every city and town in Massachusetts for a year of leadership development and community service. Ambassadors are chosen for their dedication to helping others, commitment to service, and leadership potential.

On Jan. 25, Cade joined fellow Ambassadors from across the state at Project 351’s annual Launch Day in Boston, where they participated in a day of service and leadership training.

After gathering at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum for a morning of celebration, attended by Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey and Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll, the Project 351 Ambassadors were mobilized by Service Hero teams for an afternoon of volunteerism at La Colaborativa, Brighton High School, and Cradles to Crayons. In partnership with these community leaders, Ambassador service on Launch Day impacted more than 34,000 neighbors.
