First Financial Donates $34,568 to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Carroll County Power Hour Program

​In preparation for the 2025-26 academic school year, First Financial Federal Credit Union has partnered with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carroll County to donate $34,568 in support of their Power Hour program. This after-school initiative will provide homework support, tutoring, and creative learning opportunities beyond the classroom.
 
This donation will enable the Clubs to hire tutors from fellow First Financial partner McDaniel College, who will provide homework support, one-on-one tutoring, and small group study sessions throughout the academic year.
 
As a credit union founded by educators in 1953, First Financial understands the importance of supporting our youth in their academic journey. This program not only provides much-needed academic support but also teaches kids resilience and grit to overcome any challenges that may come their way.
 
“Programs like Power Hour offer students the academic enrichment they need to succeed,” said Eric Church, First Financial CEO/President. “At First Financial, we’re proud to help make those opportunities more accessible for youth in our community.”
