VOTE for Noelia M. Chafoya on Tuesday, September 2nd & Tuesday, November 4th

Why I am running:

I am running for the Worcester School Committee for District E because I believe every child deserves access to an education that prepares them for the challenges of the future. Having grown up in this community, I understand the importance of support and opportunity in a student’s success. My goal is to ensure all students in District E receive the same chance to develop skills like problem-solving, communication, and critical thinking. Education should go beyond meeting basic standards; it should equip students to succeed and strengthen our community as a whole. I am committed to working toward this vision for every student in District E.

Who is Noelia?

I’m Noelia M. Chafoya, a proud American Salvadoran, born and raised in Worcester. As the eldest of three, raised by a strong single mother in a bilingual household, I learned the value of hard work, resilience, and community. A proud Worcester Public Schools graduate (Go Polar Bears!), I earned a full scholarship from our local YMCA, a gift from the community that believed in me, to attend Assumption University where I studied Business Marketing and Human Services.

Today, I’m a Management Consultant at SEI, helping organizations align goals, improve processes, and create lasting impact. I’m passionate about empowering people and driving positive change.

As a mother to a wonderful 5-year-old, I am deeply committed to the success of students in District E and to ensuring every Worcester Public School student has the opportunity to thrive. With my business background and love for Worcester, I’m ready to bring innovative and community-rooted solutions to our schools.
