Eugene J. Capoccia Community Center The Eugene J. Capoccia Community Center: Mon-Thurs
2:30-6:00pm & follows Leominster School Schedule. Completing the project required many supplies and resources.

In 1999 Eugene Capoccia, the Executive Director of the Leominster Housing Authority, was helping his middle school daughter with a school project. Gene thought of the children residing at the Allencrest Apartments and how difficult it would be for them to complete projects on a level playing field. He worked with Paul Tressaloni, Leominster Public Schools, to develop an afterschool program in an a

partment at Allencrest to provide homework assistance, tutoring and project supplies. For five years the school department provided financial assistance for the program. Soon after the program’s inception, Gina Wironen from the school department brought her enthusiasm and oversight to the project. In 2005, the Learning Center was awarded $60,000 split over three years from the Break the cycle of Poverty Foundation, founded by Chris & Jean Egan. This program is funded in part by the City of Leominster CDBG Program and the department of Urban Development. In the beginning the program served only elementary school students. In 2007 the program expanded to include students through college.
