Creating a Resilient Community
Our goal is to help you thrive through financial wellness.
Programs
The individuals we serve throughout our surrounding regions face significant financial challenges. We’re committed to creating opportunities for both youth and adults through our programs.
Financial Literacy
We partner with local schools, nonprofit organizations, and prisons to teach financial literacy and host Financial Reality Fairs.
Scholarships
We provide $2,500 scholarships to high school and continuing education students through our annual scholarship program.
School Sponsorships
Currently in partnership with Francis D. Raub Middle School, our grant supports financial education, graduation, and more.
In the Community
We participate in local-area community events in addition to providing financial education opportunities.
Working Class Documentary
First Commonwealth Federal Credit Union presents “Working Class”, a documentary short featuring the Allentown Community.
Centered on a Financial Literacy Program being piloted at Raub Middle School, “Working Class” spends a semester following students, faculty, and members of the community as they seek to answer the question: how does a community save itself?
Donations to WeThrive support our financial wellness, scholarship, and grants programs.
