On July 30, 2025, the BCIU Education Leading to Employment and Career Training (ELECT) Pregnant and Parenting Teen Program hosted a Car Seat Safety Check, offering proper car seat installation tips and vital safety guidance to program participants and the Berks County community.
The ELECT Program distributed 10 new car seats to students, while a AAA representative reported that 15 car seats were inspected and 25 were installed, exceeding expectations!
The initiative was made possible through collaboration among community partners, including AAA, PennDOT, local law enforcement, and BCIU teams from ELECT, Early Childhood & Student Services, Operations, and Security & Safety. Together, these partners equipped families with critical safety resources and strengthened lasting connections to help keep Berks County’s youngest passengers safe.
