The Fitzpatrick Collaborative was founded in June 2018 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit with a mission to develop the former Peter Fitzpatrick School property in Pepperell, MA into a thriving community center providing arts, education, and recreation programs for all ages. Our vision from the start has been to enable residents to remain local for programs, while attracting people from surrounding communities and supporting our local businesses. We are creating a sense of community in a vibrant, multi-generational hub of activity – with something for everyone!
