The outreach efforts of The Center For Credit & Consumer Research now involve partnerships with the Erie Times–News in Education program and Junior Achievement of Erie County. Our combined outreach focuses on financial literacy for students. We emphasize spending, saving, credit, and overall smart money management skills to prepare for a successful future.

The Center also offers several free educational brochures for download.

These programs were made possible through the support of Pennsylvania State Senator Jane Earll and State Representative Florinda Fabrizio and two grants from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development.

"Credit card companies are targeting young people who have no experience managing debt, credit or any personal finances."
