How to Support Us
Empower Students, Strengthen Our Community
Every student deserves the opportunity to build a future they’re proud of. At the BCTC Education Foundation, we help make that possible by expanding access to hands-on training, modern equipment, and real-world career experiences.
Long-term success starts with opportunity—access to resources, to skills, and to meaningful careers. With your support, we help students at Berks Career & Technology Center gain the tools and confidence to step directly into the workforce. From scholarships and upgraded equipment to enhanced career programs, your involvement shapes futures and strengthens Berks County.
