The Newburyport Learning Enrichment Center (NLEC) is a collaborative program between Newburyport Recreation & Youth Services and the public schools, designed to meet the academic and social needs of young people who qualify at no cost.
Founded on the belief that a successful academic experience opens the door to opportunity, the NLEC mission is to:
- Facilitate long term mentor relationships that support students who are struggling academically, emotionally and socially.
- Provide access to cultural arts activities in the community.
- Create stronger links with community partners to help reduce social isolation and boost a sense of belonging to the greater Newburyport community.
- Provide resources to support to the families of the students who come to the Center.
Located at 13 Kelleher Way, the NLEC is open Monday through Thursday from 2:00 to 5:00 pm for students in grades 1-12 in low to moderate income families in Newburyport.
