The Allencrest Academic Learning Center is an after-school academic learning center designed for Leominster students. The Allencrest Academic Learning Center provides students with educational resources to help them achieve their potential in school and through education, break the Cycle of Poverty. The Allencrest Academic Learning Center services fifty-six students ages five through nineteen.

Since its 1998 inception the Allencrest Academic Learning Center has provided a homework, remediation and learning program that provides students with optimum educational return. The program director has established a strong relationship with the Leominster Public School System working closely with the student's teachers to assess areas of academic strength and weakness. From that information students receive academic enrichment and support specific to their needs. A majority of the students seek out the center to receive ongoing help with daily homework assignments. Unlike other after school programs the students leave the center once their homework is complete.

In addition to the director, staffing includes an Assistant Director and tutors from Leominster High School that commit community service hours assisting and motivating the students. Many tutors are members of the National Honor Society. In addition to the academic tutoring offered at the center, students are provided with numerous educational resources to include project materials, reference materials, computers, and Internet access. Programming also includes specialized workshops such as those offered by the YWCA for teens and art activities such as cartooning, holiday crafts, pastels, mural painting and screen printing. Students also enjoy learning to make nutritional and cultural foods.

The center is supported by donations and grant funding acquired through the housing authority. The program is funded in part by the City of Leominster CDBG program and the Department of Urban Development. The Allencrest Academic Learning Center is a valuable asset to the families of the Allencrest Apartments and the Leominster community. The program’s continued growth and success is measured by the talented students that attend the center..
