Tec Centro, established in 2014 as a division of the Spanish American Civic Association (SACA) in Lancaster city, stands as the primary provider of bilingual education and skills training in the region. With two existing locations in Berks and Lebanon, alongside extensions in York, Tec Centro is set to broaden its reach, expanding services to Harrisburg starting in July 2024. Catering primarily to families grappling with unemployment, underemployment, or poverty, Tec Centro offers a comprehensive array of services aimed at addressing basic human needs. These services encompass vital necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter, crucial for the well-being of the community it serves.

Moreover, Tec Centro plays a pivotal role in addressing broader issues faced by its constituents. It extends support to individuals navigating complex immigration matters, offering guidance and assistance through the intricate legal processes involved. Furthermore, the organization provides essential aid in the realm of employment, facilitating opportunities for skill development and job placement to empower individuals towards economic self-sufficiency.

Education stands at the forefront of Tec Centro's mission, with a commitment to providing accessible learning opportunities. By offering educational resources and training programs, the center equips individuals with the tools needed to enhance their prospects in the job market, contributing to the overall socio-economic development of the community.

With its impending expansion into Harrisburg, Tec Centro is poised to extend its reach further, ensuring that its vital services and support systems continue to positively impact the lives of individuals and families across a broader geographic spectrum.
