Locally and statewide, EA is a social service advocate. EA's mission is to improve the lives of others through systemic level changes that revitalize communities. EA is committed to improving economic stability, education outcomes, health and wellness, job readiness, and family structures in underserved populations, including minority, marginalized, and impoverished communities. Our services are designed to enrich society, create sustainable solutions, and empower those who traditionally feel forgotten, overlooked, and unseen. We accomplish our mission through initiatives that support equity in education and employment, veteran transition assistance, solutions for blight and the unhoused, mental health, and inclusion. We exercise our pledge to empower families and strengthen communities by providing educational assistance, career counseling, credit building and repair, and financial literacy education.
