We’re pleased to contribute funds through Freedom First Gives to support SHE Week. The SHE Week program targets at-risk young girls lacking quality programming during the Summer and includes college tours, personality and strengths assessments, financial literacy education, mentorship, a service project, and a vision boarding process. This life changing program is FREE for the teen girls who participate. Funding from Freedom First Gives helped cover transportation costs, meals, and supplies for the program.

There are many worthy causes today, but few can unlock a child’s potential like literacy. As we celebrate Giving Tuesday we hope you will consider giving the gift of literacy. Your gift will ensure we can continue empowering parents and educators in under-served communities with the tools they need to nurture each child's development, learning, and love of reading. Because helping young children build strong early literacy skills is a powerful, proven way to transform their futures. https://lnkd.in/gUHw7nbM

You know how we always say, "Why didn't they teach us about Money in high school!?" and not like home ec, but like the real stuff. My friend Theresa is teaching THAT class. The real stuff. It's hard to know where to even begin if you've never broached the topic of how to begin investing and moving money to where it does work (that's me, btw)... which is EXACTLY why this is a thing. So, Long Beach family, go. Or at least tell others to. #longbeach #financialfreedom #freeclass

In these challenging economic times… The spirit of giving is needed more than ever. Inflation has crept up, significantly increasing the cost of gifts and affecting our ability to spread joy. Check out the prices of just a few childhood favorites… A Barbie Doll with Accessories now costs $34. For the same price, one could feed a family of 4. A Two-Wheel Scooter with a Helmet now costs $55. The same amount fills the gas tank of a small sedan. A Hot Wheels Track with a Car now costs $57. This amount could also cover the internet bill. These price points may seem small to some, but to others, they represent a difficult choice. Your donation can bridge the gap inflation has created. Every contribution, big or small, helps fulfill an individual's wish. Let’s come together to keep the magic of giving alive and spread some joy this holiday season!

Changing the future for nearly 80,000 youth every year, preparing them for work and life. Leadership is KEY to this relationship-focused, strategic and innovative thinker, results-oriented, coach, and speaker.
We think our kids don’t care about money?? Think again. Financial Literacy Month just ended April 30th but I wanted to share some highlights from a recent study completed by Citizens and Junior Achievement USA. Citizens recently announced $2.4 million in financial empowerment grants to support 137 nonprofit organizations, including $415,000 to Junior Achievement. According to the survey of 1,000 teens ages 13–18 conducted by Wakefield Research, money worries weigh heavily on American adolescents: ▶️ 78% report they are currently stressed out about money ▶️ 74% shared that their family’s money situation is a barrier to achieving their future goals. ▶️ 77% of teens said they would be interested in taking a course to better understand how to manage money The desire to learn is there. Will we help prepare them? Will we give them the skills and ability to avoid financial hardship? You can help! Volunteer, mentor, support JA programs that teach financial literacy. https://lnkd.in/dGxfcfp4

“At the core [Economic Security Project]’s ‘ideas advocacy’ approach is a critique of the economic status quo that still embraces capitalism but sees overweening corporate power as an anticompetitive detriment to the responsive markets that might otherwise keep the cost of living affordable for everyday Americans. Public options, in this sense, are positioned as a help rather than a hindrance to the operation of local markets for goods and services that can keep prices in check.” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #federalgrants #federalfunds #braidedfunds #economicjustice #publicfunding
If we can use taxes—public dollars—to fund libraries, K-to-12 education, and the USPS, why stop there? Public options play a major role in helping all communities increase access to vital goods and services, which is why I’m so proud of the groundbreaking work that Marguerite Casey Foundation Public Dollars for Public Good grant recipient Economic Security Project is leading. From public options for insulin production to grocery stores to our power grids and more we’re seeing a renewed interest nationally in public options for all of the things we need to live a good life. Read Philip Rojc’s excellent article in Inside Philanthropy at the link in the comments.

April is Financial Literacy Month. Every day Junior Achievement is working with schools to help increase financial literacy across our region. Here is 1 reason why you should consider donating to Junior Achievement. While a National Endowment for Financial Education study found that 69% of Millennials consider themselves to be financially knowledgeable, when tested only 24% showed basic understanding. Only 8% of the Millennials tested had what was considered “high” financial knowledge. Help us break this trend!! https://buff.ly/3HTpwS0

Summer is fast approaching, and for many students experiencing #homelessness, these are the months they are most vulnerable to go without the supports they receive when schools are in session. American Rescue Plan-Homeless Children and Youth funds can help school districts maintain connections with families, add capacity to liaisons to provide summer supports, and help ensure students are ready to return to school in the fall.💡 Download our Two-Pager on the benefits and considerations when providing summer activities with ARP-HCY funds. ➡️ https://bit.ly/3wUKq23
