WORCESTER— The biblical story goes that Noah’s ark set sail saving Noah, his family and two of every kind of animal while the rest of the world was destroyed by a raging flood. Tonight, an ark of a different kind will embark on its maiden voyage with a group of high school students at the helm.

The Ark Foundation will present A Song of Hope, a concert to benefit Springfield Shriners Hospital, at 7 p.m. in the Holiday Inn’s Grand Ballroom, 500 Lincoln St. The concert features young people singing songs of hope and inspiration.

Zachary Dyer, a student at St. John’s High School, established the Ark Foundation after reading “Welcome to the Ark,” a book that follows four kids who bond over their concern for the Earth’s future.
