Location

With a population of 181,000, Worcester, Massachusetts is the second largest city in New England.   Located in this vibrant and fast growing city, the Worcester Community Project Center (WCPC) is an off-campus project center offering WPI students the opportunity to become integrated with “their” community without leaving their “campus” residence. Students commute to work at the Worcester Community Project Center offices at 44 Portland Street or to their sponsoring organization in downtown Worcester.
