Learning First Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring the continuity and sustainability of Learning First Charter Public School (LFCPS) in Worcester, MA. Governed by a board of volunteers, the Learning First Foundation (LFF) works to provide opportunities to the students of LFCPS regardless of their race, religion, income, gender, or financial status. By providing urban families with the power to choose where their children will learn, we empower not only the children but also the parents, who all too often are not given the privilege of choice.
