Your Support Will Transform a Life TODAY!


Every day at Outreach, we witness the power of education to transform lives.  Like Johnnysha Ramos.

When Johnnysha first came to The Outreach Center, she wasn't sure she would ever earn her GED certificate. In her own words:



"The Outreach Center is amazing to say the least. When I first began taking classes here, I thought there was no end — I would never get my GED. With the outstanding training, with instructors who go above and beyond, who truly want to see you win, there was no way I couldn't graduate. Thank you, again for helping me see it through."



Immediately after earning her GED, Johnnysha secured employment as a Customer Service Representative at a local company — a direct result of her hard work and newfound credentials. Her story exemplifies our mission: education as the pathway to economic self-sufficiency.


Your Donation Creates Economic Opportunity


When you support Outreach today, you're not just funding a classroom or a certificate program. You're investing in:



  • Life-changing educational opportunities for determined individuals

  • Dedicated instructors who believe in every student's potential

  • A direct pathway to employment and financial independence

  • Stronger, more resilient families in our community




It's a great day to make an IMPACT!


Your gift will open doors to economic self-sufficiency through education. During NEPA Gives, your support will be amplified through special matching opportunities throughout the day.


Together, we can help more people like Johnnysha transform their lives through the power of education.


With gratitude,


Lori Chaffers

It is through offering resources for life skills, literacy, employment training, parenting, early childhood education, youth mentoring, behavioral health supports, wrap-around case management, and more. Outreach builds strong families and strong communities.
