In 2005, Nicole Albert met a Haitian woman on the streets of Boston who couldn’t cash her check due to language barriers. Nicole spent months teaching her to read and write in Haitian Creole, and introduced basic English phrases in her kitchen. As word spread, more people sought Nicole’s help with tasks like signing checks and reading mail. Recognizing the broader need, Nicole founded the Gilbert Albert Community Center (GACC) in 2007 to provide quality English lessons and essential support to local immigrants. Today, GACC delivers crucial educational and social services to the immigrant populations of Greater Boston.
The Gilbert Albert Community Center (GACC) provides essential services to support and empower immigrant populations in Dorchester and the Greater Boston area.
