The Spanish American Center, Inc. Welcome to the Spanish American Center/Centro Hispano Americano, a non-profit social service agency!

Our vision is that every person would live in a safe, healthy, peaceful, and prosperous community in order to enjoy the full benefits of our society. Our mission is to respond to the social, health, educational and cultural needs of the Leominster community and surrounding areas with special focus on the Hispanic /Latino community, limited by language, poverty and access. We foster economic self-s

ufficiency, equal opportunity, and active participation in community related activities for better quality of life. The Spanish-American Center is committed to providing assistance to Spanish-speaking residents to overcome language barriers, promoting the development of our young people, fostering community involvement and leadership; increasing relationships with partners, and connecting clients to available community services, which represent and advocate for the community. In keeping with Latino traditions and being mindful of the historical principles of American democracy, the Spanish American Center adheres to the values of inclusion, and acceptance and embracing one another in collaboration and celebration of hope for a more prosperous future. Our programs: include (ESL) English as a Second Language classes, our Leominster community food pantry, summer meal programs for children in Leominster, Fitchburg and Gardner, elder programs, legal clinics, domestic violence intervention, after school programs for middle and high school students, advocacy, and occasional mobile consulates for our Uruguayan-American community. In addition, the Center has begun, this past year, intervention with families in transition who are temporarily housed in local motels by providing hot meals two nights per week, which are prepared at the Center and delivered and served on-site at the motels. Our newest services for the community include mediation training for interested volunteers, and the provision of mediation services for our clients and a soup kitchen for the needy and homeless.

ESOL English Classes at the Spanish American Center, then and now! English class is about more than learning grammar and pronunciation. It is a shared community of learners, each one on their own journey to a better job, course of study, or more fluency to communicate at the doctor's office. It's also a whole lot of fun (here are 2 end-of-year parties from August 1990 and July 2026). Thanks to Community Foundation of North Central Massachusetts for supporting English class and our 60th Anniversary Fundraising Gala!

La clase de inglés ESOL del Spanish American Center es mucho más que aprender gramática y pronunciación. Es una comunidad de estudiantes, cada uno en su propio camino hacia un mejor empleo, un curso de estudios o una mayor fluidez para comunicarse en el consultorio médico. Y también es muy divertida. Aquí compartimos fotos de dos fiestas de fin de curso: una de agosto de 1990 y otra de julio de 2026. ¡Gracias a Community Foundation of North Central Massachusetts por apoyar nuestras clases de inglés y nuestra Gala del 60.º Aniversario!
