THERE ARE SEVERAL PROGRAMMATIC ASPECTS OF THE WIP INITIATIVE, WHICH ARE OUTLINED SEPARATELY IN THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS: STEAM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, ART, AND MATH) EDUCATION PILOT PROGRAMTHE STEAM EDUCATION PILOT PROGRAM IS A TWO YEAR PROJECT TO BRING EFFECTIVE STEAM EDUCATION TO PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN LACKAWANNA COUNTY; THIS PILOT BEGAN AT THE START OF THE 2016-2017 SCHOOL YEAR. FOR THE PILOT, WIP IS PROVIDING IN-CLASS INSTRUCTION FROM THE SALVADORI CENTER TO ALL OF THE 7TH GRADE STUDENTS IN THE SCRANTON AND RIVERSIDE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, APPROXIMATELY 850 CHILDREN. THE SALVADORI CENTER PROVIDES HANDS-ON LEARNING EXPERIENCES TO HELP CHILDREN GAIN FAMILIARITY WITH STEAM CONCEPTS. BECAUSE THE SALVADORI CENTER USES A HANDS-ON APPROACH TO LEARNING, IT IS AN EFFECTIVE MODEL FOR STUDENTS WHO SPEAK ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL). THE SCRANTON AND RIVERSIDE SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF ESL STUDENTS IN LACKAWANNA COUNTY. IN ADDITION TO THE SALVADORI CENTER INSTRUCTION, WIP ENGAGED THE SERVICES OF PENN STATE WORTHINGTON SCRANTON TO PROVIDE THE STUDENTS AT SCRANTON SCHOOL DISTRICT AN AFTER-SCHOOL GIRLS STEAM CLUB, AND RIVERSIDE GIRLS WERE TAKEN ON STEAM RELATED FIELD TRIPS. AT THE START OF THE STEAM EDUCATION PILOT PROGRAM, WIP HOSTED A STEAM LAUNCH EVENT FOR THE 7TH GRADE STUDENTS AT SCRANTON AND RIVERSIDE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, WHICH INCLUDED DYNAMIC STEAM-CENTERED SPEAKERS AND INTERACTIVE DISPLAYS.IN ADDITION TO THE PROGRAMS PROVIDED AT SCRANTON AND RIVERSIDE, WIP ALSO PARTNERED WITH THE DUNMORE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL STEAM EDUCATION LECTURES TO THE STUDENTS IN 4TH-6TH GRADES. THESE PRESENTATIONS WERE COORDINATED WITH THE TEACHERS TO COMPLIMENT THE LESSON PLANS, AND BROUGHT IN A VARIETY OF ENGAGING SPEAKERS FOR THE STUDENTS TO HEAR. MATCHED SAVINGS GROUPSTHE WIP MATCHED SAVINGS GROUPS ARE OPERATED THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH WIP MEMBERS, UNITED NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS (UNC), PNC BANK, AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. THROUGH THE MATCHED SAVINGS GROUPS, 37 LOW-TO-MODERATE INCOME WOMEN IN LACKAWANNA COUNTY MET MONTHLY AT UNC CENTERS TO RECEIVE FINANCIAL EDUCATION CLASSES. THE SUBJECT OF THESE CLASSES RANGED FROM BANKING BASICS, TO MAKING LARGE PURCHASES, AND APPLYING FOR LOANS. DURING THE YEAR OF INSTRUCTION, PARTICIPANTS SAVED MONEY TOWARD A PRE-DEFINED GOAL, WHICH INCLUDED SAVING TO BUY A HOME OR CAR, MAKING REPAIRS TO A CURRENT HOME, PAYING FOR EDUCATION, STARTING A BUSINESS, OR PAYING MEDICAL BILLS. AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM, WIP MATCHED THE MONEY SAVED BY PARTICIPANTS ON A DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR BASIS UP TO $2,500 EACH. SPECIALIZED, ZERO-FEE SAVINGS ACCOUNTS WERE ESTABLISHED AT PNC BANK, WHICH GAVE PARTICIPANTS ACCESS TO A TRADITIONAL BANK ACCOUNT AND HELPED THEM SAVE MONEY WITHOUT GARNERING FEES. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, WIP AIMED TO DECREASE THE NUMBER OF WOMEN AND FAMILIES LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK BY PROVIDING USEFUL FINANCIAL INFORMATION, ACCESS TO TRADITIONAL BANKING INSTITUTIONS, AS OPPOSED TO PAYDAY LENDERS OR OTHER PREDATORY BANKING PRACTICES, AND PROVIDING THE PARTICIPANTS WITH A MONETARY BUFFER THAT COULD BE USED IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY EXPENSE OR CATASTROPHIC INCIDENT. FINANCIAL CONFIDENCE AND ENTREPRENEURSHIPTHROUGH THE FINANCIAL CONFIDENCE AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAM, ASPIRING WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS LIVING OR WORKING IN LACKAWANNA COUNTY WERE PROVIDED WITH FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS EDUCATION INSTRUCTION, MENTORSHIP, BUSINESS PLAN CULTIVATION ASSISTANCE, AND THE START-UP CAPITAL TO GROW OR START A BUSINESS. TO MAKE THIS PROGRAM A REALITY, WIP PARTNERED WITH MULTIPLE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, WHICH ALL PLAY A ROLE IN HELPING THE ENTREPRENEURS SUCCEED. THESE ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDED THE SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CENTER AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON, PENN STATE WORTHINGTON SCRANTON, AND PEOPLES SECURITY BANK AND TRUST.NEPA MATCH DAYNEPA MATCH DAY IS A PROGRAM THAT BRINGS TOGETHER 25 LOCAL NONPROFIT AGENCIES TO WORK TOGETHER TO PROMOTE A DAY OF GIVING EVENT SPONSORED BY THE SCRANTON AREA FOUNDATION (SAF).

THE 25 ORGANIZATIONS, WHICH NORMALLY COMPETE WITH ONE ANOTHER FOR FUNDING AND RECOGNITION, WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO PROMOTE THE GOOD WORKS THAT ARE DONE BY PARTICIPATING PARTNERS. AT THE END OF THE CAMPAIGN, THE GOAL IS TO RAISE $50,000 TO SUPPORT THE WORK BEING DONE BY LOCAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS.
