Pennsylvania Family Institute

On Tuesday, March 20, 2018, Michael Geer spoke to the members of York-East Rotary Club about the Pennsylvania Family Institute.  The mission of this organization is to strengthen families through promoting education and individual responsibility.  They believe that, for young persons,  getting out of poverty and into the middle class can be achieved by meeting 3 goals: finishing high school, getting a full-time job, and waiting until the age of 21 to get married and have children.  Their statistics show that children from homes with strong family ties have fewer problems with drug abuse, expulsion from school, violence, and having children out of wedlock.
