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-sufficiency, 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.

Leading through awareness and action💜

This October, the Women’s Leadership Connection invites you to join us for an important conversation in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

📅 Wednesday, October 7, 2026
⏰ 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM
📍 Chocksett Inn | 59 Laurelwood Road, Sterling, MA

Domestic violence impacts individuals, families, workplaces, and communities—and we all have a role to play in creating environments where people feel safe, supported, and heard.

Join us for an engaging conversation featuring local professionals who work directly with survivors and our community:

💜 Lesly Borges – Leominster Police Department Domestic Violence Liaison
💜 Maria Cintron – Spanish American Center Domestic Violence Manager
💜 Luiza Camelo – Spanish American Center Therapist
🎤 Emceed by Rosa Rivera

Together, we’ll explore recognizing warning signs, understanding the impact of domestic violence in the workplace, supporting someone who may be experiencing abuse, and how leaders and businesses can create safer, more supportive environments.

This luncheon is a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space. Trained individuals will be on-site for anyone who may need to speak privately, ask questions, or connect with support and resources. You are never required to share your personal experience or participate in any conversation you’re not comfortable with.

Let’s come together to learn, listen, connect, and turn awareness into action. 💜
