Synergy Academies is a non-profit organization whose mission speaks to why we exist and what we hope to achieve: We work together as a community to disrupt educational inequity by providing high quality instruction, supports, and access for all students to excel. Synergy’s founders intentionally chose the name “Synergy” because they believed that it is only by working together with students, parents, teachers, school staff and leaders, can we overcome the opportunity gaps that have led to inequitable outcomes for generations. This emphasis on working together is highlighted in Synergy’s mission, as well as the need for us to disrupt the systems that have perpetuated inequities in education. We believe the path forward includes providing high quality instruction. Our instructional vision defines what we mean when we say “high quality instruction:” At Synergy, high quality instruction engages students in grade-level learning, affirms who they are, and prepares them to excel academically, socially, and civically. Synergy Academies operates 3 public charter schools in South Los Angeles: *Synergy Charter Academy (grades TK - 5) *Synergy Kinetic Academy (grades 6 - 8) *Synergy Quantum Academy (grades 9 - 12)

Synergy Academies in Los Angeles welcomed the CFE back on campus recently for a #MadCityMoney event. It’s become an annual tradition and this year 110 seniors completed the simulation learning activity. There were the usual eye-opening moments as students realized the realities of living within a budget, saving, and paying off debt. Many thanks to those who came to help as volunteers, including the Academy’s CEO Rhonda Deomampo, Synergy teachers and staff and SCE Credit Union Team Members! As is always the case, the MCM event made an impact. Here’s what some of the students had to say: The most important thing I learned today was to prioritize my needs over my wants. – Lizbeth I learned the hard way that you have to buy the needed things before going off to buy an expensive car. - Kevin We learned about budgeting in class but this made it more real to life. – Steven This activity helped me learn a lot I didn’t know about credit, such as making more than the minimum payment and keeping a high credit score. – Bryan Volunteers and donors in Southern California and Southern Nevada are the backbone of our nonprofit. When you get involved, you make a difference that will be felt for decades to come. Join us! Help us bring financial literacy to those who need it most. https://lnkd.in/g5y36D-H
