We Improve Lives by partnering with agencies providing programs that assure fair access to health, education and financial stability.

To assure a coordinated and comprehensive approach to creating positive impact in each of these targeted areas, we work with our partners, other providers, local government and private business to coordinate and collaborate the identification of need and developing solutions to those needs.

The outcome? In 2015:

• 27,702 people received help preparing for school and intensive support in improving reading, cultural and legal literacy skills. 94% of enrolled children are succeeding in school. 88% of enrolled adults demonstrated measurable improvement in their reading skills. 93% demonstrated improved cultural literacy.
• 11,824 people received help improving their financial situation. 96% demonstrated measurable improvement in their financial stability.
• 22,582 people received help related to physical and mental health issues. 86% demonstrated measurable improvement in their ability to manage these issues.

For those donors who live outside our county, we provide an easy option for giving back to their communities through payroll deduction.

In Centre County, it makes sense to Give, Advocate, Volunteer!
