Wilkins School Community Center

Meet Play Learn

What’s Going on at WSCC?

Wilkins School Community Center is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, formed in October 1979, when neighborhood residents proposed to use the vacant school building for classes. From this first eight-week session, the Center has grown into a meeting place for year-round classes, community events and civic organizations.

On this site you will find information about the classes and events at the Center as well as links to other organizations.

“See you at the Center”

Thanks to the generosity of WPLUG , who donated time, money and lots of elbow grease, the Wilkins School has FREE WiFi service.  Yeah WPLUG!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WSCC

Let’s eat cake, lots of cake, make a toast, and belt out a raucous version of Happy Birthday together on March 20^th and celebrate the 31^st birthday of the WSCC. It’s going to be a blast, and it will be even more fun with all of you there! Look for your invitation in our next program and on the web. Bring your friends, the more the merrier.  Families Welcome
