The Learning Center of Hot Springs County is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to empowering individuals and families through education and community programs. We strive to create a supportive environment that fosters growth and connection.
While we have a great many partners, we are entirely separate from all government entities. We must fundraise for all services, because we don't receive government funding to pay for services or operations.

We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live their full potential.

We see ourselves not just as an education center, but as a community resource center. We operate on the belief that when you lift up the individuals who have the furthest to go, you strengthen the entire economic and social fabric of Thermopolis.
