Education Task Force

The Education Task Force encourages and supports high school students on their journey by providing workshops, community events, and scholarships that encourage academic success and self-responsibility. A collective unit of educators, administrators and corporate partners whose mission it is to encourage, recruit and assist students with exploring post-secondary education options. The Education Task Force is an original function of CAO's volunteer base of community leaders. Their function has been to guide the agency's efforts to meet community's needs as they relate to educational advancement of students throughout Erie and Niagara County. As a function of the Youth Services Department, the Task Force annually produces a minimum of two major events: (1) College Day and (2) Scholarship Fair, which both provide a base for us to award valuable scholarships to deserving students interested in pursuing a higher education.
