About Quality of Life Learning Center/UECDC

The mission of the Quality of Life Learning Center is “to accomplish what is greater by increasing the capacity for economic self-sufficiency through cutting edge educational services and training; by empowering youth to build their skills and grow to their potential; and by inspiring the community to take steps towards creating a better future for its people and organizations.”

Quality of Life provides free quality educational and employment programing including: workforce development training, an after-school youth program, English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, and G.E.D. courses. At Quality of Life, we believe that providing a quality education and opportunities for employment are some of the most effective ways to combat poverty and crime within the Erie community.

**The Quality of Life Learning Center also goes by the name "Urban Erie Community Development Corporation" (UECDC). In 2003 the Urban Erie Community Development Corporation (UECDC) merged with the Quality of life Learning Center. Activities carried out by UECDC continue under the name “Quality of Life Learning Center.”
