This learning center has served the Cape Ann community for over 20 years. During these years hundreds of learners have successfully met their learning goals with the assistance of teachers and volunteer tutors. Wellspring assumed management of the center in December of 2007. Last year we served 73 students who represent countries from all over the world (Korea, China, Brazil, Macedonia, Argentina, etc.).

We are grateful to the Trustees of the Sawyer Free Library who make the learning center’s space available at no cost. We are also appreciative of our funders who underwrite the teaching salaries and books that make it possible to offer this program free of charge to our students.
