P.O. BOX 42227
PHILADELPHIA, PA 19101
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CREDIT UNION BRIEFING PROSPECTUS
(PEOPLE EMPOWERMENT THROUGH FINANCIAL LITERACY
& CREDIT ACCESS VIA PERSONAL COMPUTER SECURED TELECOMMUNICATIONS)
HISTORY:
The People Empowerment Zone Community Development Federal
Credit Union doing business as the People Empowerment Credit Union (PECU)
was originated and conceived by Jasper Jones. Mr. Jones became the founding
lead subscriber for PECU after an informal survey of Empowerment Zone (EZ)
residents confirmed support and the need for the creation of a community
development credit union. Mr. Jones is a graduate of the University of
Pennsylvania - Wharton School specializing in: computer assisted instruction,
artificial intelligence technology and finance for more than twenty-five
(25) years. Mr. Jones is responsible for strategic planning and technology
infrastructure development for the credit union. Mr. Jones has worked with
other EZ residents to combine their program resources and talents to develop
a financial literacy and educational credentialization program for "individual
credit worthiness advancement" that utilizes a wholistic approach to rectifying
the myriad of financial support issues facing our People today. The People
Empowerment Credit Union was born in the Philadelphia - Empowerment Zone
as a result of those efforts.
MISSION:
PECU's' primary mission is to prepare members to be Credit
Worthy enough to access capital credit and become Financially-Literate,
while also preparing them to participate in the computer age of banking
commerce, via learning by doing programs of financial asset development.
Program elements used to accomplish the primary mission include:
-> an alliance with the Omni-community CHARTER SCHOOL
(OCS) - CAMPUS OF DISTANCE LEARNERS Charter School. OCS utilizes cyberspace
distance learning modalities in lieu of "bricks and mortar infrastructure",
to deliver instructional services and related human development support
services in an elementary preparatory and secondary education School-To-Work,
Business Ownership transition framework! The integration of education and
financial services assures that PECU members develop the vocational
related education credentials required for employment or to qualify
for business start-up finance loans.
-> an alliance partnership with the American Academy of
Distance Education and Training (AADET) recognizes the financial support
innovation for our disadvantaged citizens and will support the Individual
Development Account Trust Agreement (IDATAÔ) Program of the CROP Action
Team and agrees to contribute $25.00 per college credit hour processed
though AADET. This Money is to be given to the CROP Empowerment Credit
Union Program. Further, Grant contributions will also be made available
for enhancement of the Human Development Services of the CROP- Action Team
Program.
-> an alliance membership with the National Federation
of Community Development Credit Unions (NFCDCU) provides charter sponsorship
to the National Credit Union Administration, technical assistance, capital
finance assistance and member financial literacy training programs.
-> an alliance partnership with Berean Federal Savings and
Loan for member mortgage loan syndication tied to Berean Federal's
Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) status, through a Federal
Treasury Department CDFI institutional development program, providing support
for an Internet Personal Computer Banking Transaction Infrastructure for
the Credit Union.
-> alliance partnerships with Colleges and Universities
provides the "corporate welfare reform institutional guardian infrastructure"
for the development of members (individual development account trust agreements
- [IDATA's]) that provides immediate support for custom computer age job
related training and business start-up capitalization opportunities as
training-to-work, welfare-to-work, prison-to-work, military-to-work, homeless-to-home-to-work,
and school-to-career transition bridges with living stipends during the
training-to-work period.
PHILOSOPHY.
PECUs' central philosophy is that all of its low income
members can become "Credit Worthy, and Financially Literate". PECU's aim
is to provide the support infrastructure needed by members through network
alliances to achieve: Credit Worthiness, Financial Literacy, Personal Computer
Banking Transaction Literacy, and vocational related education credentials
required for employment and/or to qualify for business start-up finance
loans. PECU operates through financial marketing alliance agreements to
provide project loan syndication for its member clients.
PECU OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES:
The proposed operation of our venture is unique in that
we are establishing an Empowerment Zone computer internet transaction (i.e.
Personal Computer Banking) based community development credit union that
builds the capacity of residents to participate in accessing other Community
Development Financial Institutions (CDFI's) by building an entry level
CDFI, the People Empowerment Credit Union (PECU). The venture's training
collaborative partners (Penn State University and the Omni-community CHARTER
SCHOOL - CAMPUS OF DISTANCE LEARNERS Charter School) are working together
to provide distance learning services so that program participants may
acquire certifications in their areas of work interest. The Credit Union's
Pledge Collection Strategy employs training in technology literacy and
introduction to the use of the computer in money management. The Credit
Union Pledge Collection Strategy is part of the Computers For Youth and
Family: Earn a Computer Project that features basic computer technology
literacy training and software training exercises on all the mathematics
skills required to earn a GED (General Equivalency Diploma). The credit
union is slated to employ learning by doing financial literacy programs
created by the National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions
and the Center for Economic and Social Justice (CESJ). CESJ is the organization
responsible for the creation of the legal technology that created employee
stock ownership plans (ESOP's) in our society.
Each member receives "Financial Literacy Training" and
computer assisted instruction coupled with an integration of a wealth development
needs assessment to an innovative citizen financial support program (individual
development account trust agreements - [IDATA's]) that provide immediate
support for custom computer age job related training and business start-up
capitalization opportunities as training-to-work, welfare-to-work, prison-to-work,
military-to-work, and school-to-career bridges with living stipends during
the training-to-work period. PECU conducts learning-by-doing financial
literacy/ student - family programs and involvement with action groups
formed to address economic - education issues and concerns raised in town
type meetings.
FIELD OF MEMBERSHIP - QUALIFICATIONS TO JOIN
We are organizing the People Empowerment Credit Union
(PECU) as a community development credit union, with a field of membership
defined to be residents of the Philadelphia Empowerment Zone (EZ) - Enterprise
Communities (EC) and residents in neighborhoods that adjoin the EZ - EC,
that have the same demographic profile. Any person who resides or works

of Architecture Heritage (ISCARSAH) Guidelines, certificates of competency
in application of a craft to historic building conservation or certification
in Local Area Network (LAN) Wiring!
The Allied Trades & Building Construction Conservation
Crafts Association is following performance mastery criteria to determine
apprentice program level status where appropriate. This strategy
is unique to the Distance Learning Instructional Services Delivery Protocols
of the OCS Charter School and utilizes the counting of clock hours of instruction
completed by students using authenticated computer based training (CBT)
modules. This flexibility allows our students to receive instruction
over the Internet at the times that are available to them due to constraints
of their life circumstances, such as on the job training schedules. The
integration of assessment with instruction program features CBT skill acquisition
verification through faculty monitored learning sessions. The OCS
Charter School: Campus Of Distance Learners Sites substitute manual and
computer documented mastery of course subject matter in student Individualized
Education Plans (IEP's) with measured clock hours on subject matter tasks
as a substitute for DAILY ATTENDANCE in courses to determine meeting course
credit completion acceptance criteria and subject matter performance mastery
required for certification of the completion of a particular phase of a
trade apprenticeship skill task item. This instruction strategy is
particularly applicable to the Computer Industry Network Engineering Apprentice
program where industry has already replaced clock hours demonstration of
performance mastery as the primary criteria for trade master status.

How the Community Rebirth Organization Plan (CROP)
Program
works as a Character Rebirth Organization Plan(CROP)
The CROPÔ Program works as a Character (i.e. personal integrity)
Rebirth Organization Plan Program by supporting the development of the
Skill Sets listed below. Skill Sets that are required for an individual
to successfully function in our computer based technological society and
for our society collectively to advance its collective prosperity and happiness!
We must remember that People can only do what they have been taught to
do. And that they will often try to do what they know how to do,
even if, if what they know how to do has little or NO relationship to effectively
addressing their current situation. The old adage of 'having to watch
horses after you have taken them out of their barn that is on fire, so
that they do not run back into their burning barn' is appropriate to the
point that we are making!
->1. Spiritual Literacy -
knowledge and actualization of what is and is not Godly, righteous and
moral behavior having internalized that there is consequences for engaging
in wrongful - immoral behavior!
-> 2. Health Literacy - knowledge
and actualization of the nutrition, exercise, thinking and other positive
habits that lead to the avoidance of illness and having the physical capacity
to have enjoyment of a life that is personally and professionally fulfilling!
->3. Financial Literacy - knowledge
and actualization of effective utilization of the processes of economic
activities, accounting functions, asset accumulation, and liability minimization
that lead to wealth creation for the individual and society!
->4. Political - Civic - Social - Legal
Literacy - knowledge and actualization of effective utilization
of the processes of political, civic, social, and legal interaction between
citizens and society's institutions that creates a just distribution of
resources and resolves legal and civil disputes in a just and civil manner
(i.e. citizen effective exercise of constitutional rights)!
->5. Technology Literacy - knowledge
and actualization of effective utilization of the tools, operative procedures
and processes (i.e. physical sciences) of the operation and conduct of
the business of society (e.g. manufacturing, agriculture, distribution,
financial - business transactions recording, etc..). The primary
tool of technology in our society now is the computer, consequently basic
computer technology literacy is a mandatory technology literacy skill set
item for all!
->6. Basic Skills Literacy - knowledge
level of the basic skills of reading, writing, arithmetic computation,
science, sufficient to permit acquisition of the technology literacy required
for the effective utilization of the instruments of technology in our society!
The Community Rebirth Organization Plan (CROPÔ) - Action
Team® Programs operate in support of the acquisition of the above Literacy
Skill Sets by being a Community Partner Supporting the listed program objectives
and the creation of the institutions and programs listed below!
CROP supports the creation and operation of institutions
and programs for human development and community economic development through
Financial
Institutions and Human Development Support Organizations!
-> Financial Institutions - Institutional
Guardian - Community Trusts, the People Empowerment Community Development
Credit Union, the People Empowerment Mutual Insurance Company, and the
Center for Economic and Social Justice (CESJ) which is our advocate for
financial institution reform with economic justice that provides expanded
capital ownership and Banking System expanded credit on favorable terms.
Together these Financial Institutions provide the coordination and
financial support service resources needed for our people to acquire the
above Literacy Skill Sets according to their individual talents and gifts!
