Firetree Place is centrally located in downtown Williamsport where a large population of socioeconomically disadvantaged families and youth are within walking distance. A recent economic survey of our youth’s families shows that 67% of the families we serve are considered extremely low to low income. About 61% of our youth live in a single parent household, with less resources to provide support to their children during non-school hours. Not only that, but 67% of those youth qualify for free or reduced school meals. Because of the financial situation the majority of our families are in, we offer our core programs at a discounted price. For those individuals who are in dire need, we also offer further reduced prices through sponsorships/scholarships. To keep prices as low as possible for our families, we host multiple fundraisers throughout the year to help support our programming. Here at Firetree Place, we believe that underprivileged families shouldn’t have to miss out on great opportunities solely because of their financial situation. We aim to provide equal opportunities for all individuals, no matter their socioeconomic status.
