Our Vision
At ERC Youth Center, we envision a future where every child in Chester, SC, regardless of their background, has the tools and support to excel academically, emotionally, and socially. We aspire to create a safe and nurturing space where underprivileged youth, especially minority boys and girls, can discover their strengths, explore new opportunities, and build resilience. Our afterschool programs, tailored educational support, and mental health services are the foundation of our work. Through this comprehensive approach, ERC Youth Center will be a beacon of hope, inspiring each young person to rise above challenges and achieve their greatest potential, becoming future leaders and positive contributors to society.
