Opportunity House is undertaking a Capital Campaign
to build a technology center that will enhance the education
opportunities available at its Second Street Learning Center.

Opportunity House Capital Campaign 2009

Securing Our Future Today!

Project Touchstones

Opportunity House/Second Street Learning Center Technology Center will do the following:

  • Create a school that will provide the optimal classroom environment for learning for children of all ages.

  • Foster collaboration with public institutions and private industry to improve the quality of life in Greater Reading.

  • Further stabilize the Second Street corridor and the redevelopment of Greater Reading.

  • We are changing the way our children learn and also changing neighborhoods in which they live and play.

  • Provide a computer for EVERY child that will better equip them with the skills and knowledge to pursue a successful future.

  • By implementing “smart growth” principles, we are constructing a facility that will conserve natural resources, use a minimum of non-renewable resources and be economical to maintain and operate.

  • Develop a “social venture” that would be consistent with our mission and also generate the required revenue to offset annual operating deficits.

 


Several digital billboards in support of the Capital Campaign are running throughout the county. See them on this page.

The following are large documents and may take some time to fully load.
