Life-long Learners
The world moves quickly, and we’re here to help you keep up.
- Goal: Help Make Education More Affordable for Families
Through the creation of more than 125 scholarship funds, your neighbors have helped thousands of Berks County students pursue their dreams after high school, from working in the technical or culinary trades to studying medicine and engineering. - Goal: Management Training for Nonprofit Leaders
We offer a nonprofit management certificate with help from our friends at The Nonprofit Center at LaSalle University. Every other year, a cohort of up to twenty local leaders work together to hone their management skills to make their organizations – and our community – the best it can be. - Goal: Learning About Giving
Our giving circles offer a chance to learn about local nonprofits while giving back. Through the Power of the Purse in Berks County Fund and our Youth Advisory Board, learning about philanthropy has never been more interesting.
What’s New in Education
We turn initiatives into action.
With the help of community partners and committed volunteers, we take what we learn and put it to work through specific programs.
