The Easton Area Community Center serves the greater area of Easton, and traditionally has been an after school, and athletic program for the kids. With a growing need to provide more variety of services we are looking to expand our services, and a Financial Literacy class for middle school and high school kids is one that is gaining interest. We will have guest speakers from banking, investing, the professional workspace. As well as giving the kids real world experiences learning the cost of their choices: paying cash for a car, vs payments, not paying credit card bills in a timely manner. Investing a portion of their wages, vs random payments. We will visit financial institutions and have several different voices and opinions

The Easton Area Community Center offers an 8-week, full day summer camp for the children in the area. We offer them the summer camp at a fraction of the average price compared to the rest of the state, taking into consideration they are coming from low income, and single parent homes. We do this with a heavy reliance on donors and sponsors. The 8-week program cost $2,500 per child, with us charging the families only $400 per child. We count on partnerships with programs in the area, corporate donations, and profit we make with our fundraisers to help cover as much of the cost as we can. Each year the cost is increasing, and those willing to sponsor are fewer and fewer, which makes it an increasingly difficult task.
