About Education Comes Firt
We often hear that the better our education, the further we go in life...
We at ECF-stand by this belief. “ECF” Education Comes First, is fueled with passionate intent, to deliver high quality educational opportunities to underprivileged youth. We believe in supporting organizations with grant funding that target ending learning poverty.
Opportunities rise where kids thrive
ECF offers resources such as supplemental education, funding to enhance learning spaces such as literacy tools, reading centers, technology, and educational equipment. Our programing goals include building confidence, social emotional well-being, and fostering a passion for the love of learning.
Reading
Learning to read is a milestone in every child’s life, it is a fundamental skill. All children should be able to read by age 10. Reading is the gateway of learning and furthers the ability to learn other subjects.
Math
Math helps us think analytically and have better reasoning abilities. Analytical thinking refers to the ability to think critically about the world around us. Reasoning is our ability to think logically about situations.
Social Development
Social Development is a learning process where new types of behavior is learned, change in interests occurs, new friendships are developed and maturity in social relationships is attained.
Our Mission
Our mission is to inspire youngsters to realize their full potential by furthering their education outside of the classroom, particularly by enhancing their performance in the areas of mathematics, reading, and social development.
Ending Learning Poverty!
Learning poverty means being unable to read and understand a simple text by age 10. We believe we can help fill the opportunity gap by supporting out-of-school organizations that are established as youth development professionals.
