The Mission of Every Child Valued is to motivate young Lawrence Township residents to reach their highest potential as educated and fulfilled adults, to strengthen families, to combat racial, cultural, and socio-economic isolation, and to build a sense of community.
Every Child Valued (ECV) is a community-based initiative for youth that was formulated and launched in 2000-2001 to address the educational and social challenges facing families residing in or near Eggerts Crossing Village (EC Village). ECV expanded its scope in 2009 to create a continuous developmental and educational experience for children Pre-K through sixth grades in Lawrence Township. Our programs are now located both at EC Village and at the Lawrence Community Center (formerly known as Lawrence Neighborhood Service Center). ECV programs are staffed with certified teachers from the Lawrence Township Public Schools and surrounding communities.
