Why Social Impact Matters
For us, it’s not just about providing excellent services; it’s about making a meaningful impact in the communities we are privileged to serve. That’s why we have made a conscious decision to prioritize social impact in our culture.
One of these cornerstones is advocating for financial literacy. We believe in empowering individuals through education and programs that teach financial basics with actionable plans to help level the playing field.
How We Help
By equipping people with the tools to understand and manage their finances effectively, we are not only helping them secure their futures but also strengthening the fabric of our communities.
During the 2023-2024 school year, through our partnership with the EverFi Financial Literacy Program, we reached 1,356 high school students across 15 schools, including 249 students from 6 low-to-moderate-income (LMI) schools. These students completed 4,589 hours of learning and saw a remarkable 27 percentage point increase in their financial literacy assessment scores.
Through a mix of workshops, educational seminars, and community outreach, we continue to promote financial literacy and provide vital support to those who need it most.
