Help the Siena Learning Center Create Community!

We ask for your support on #GivingTuesday

As Giving Tuesday approaches, we are excited to invite you to support a very special event at Siena Learning Center—our Cultural Exchange Day. On this day, students from diverse backgrounds come together to share their stories, traditions, and talents, enriching our entire community.

This year, we are asking for your help in raising the necessary funds to make Cultural Exchange Day a reality. Your donation will support the materials, food, cultural activities, and learning resources that will make this day unforgettable for our students and their families.

We have moved!


The Siena Learning Center has a new home! Our new space at 114 West Main in New Britain has some history … it served for years as downtown New Britain’s post office. It was purchased by the current owner in 2022 and has been completely restored.

The new center is just 5 minutes away from our old location and is on 16 bus routes.

If you missed our ribbon cutting in October, swing by and visit!
We look forward to meeting you there!

How Can You Help?

The Siena Learning Center relies on our volunteer tutors to provide one-on-one assistance to our adult learners, and donations to help us provide books and materials.

How Can You Help?

Volunteer as a Tutor!

If you speak English, you can teach it.

Many people believe they can’t teach English if they can’t speak the learner’s language.  But if you speak English, you can teach it… we can show you how!
