Our partners @CitizensBank bring #financialliterac

Our partners @CitizensBank bring #financialliteracy to teens in our Leader in Training program through workshops during the summer and year-round. From learning how to manage credit and debt to making a budget for college living expenses, it’s important to start working on financial fitness from a young age, but it can also be intimidating!

Just last week their team put on a financial aid session with teens in our 11th grade cohort talking through the process of funding post-secondary plans. Thank you Citizens for your continued commitment to our work and your investment in the next generation!

Introducing CHV’s Parent Advisory Board!

At CHV, we strive to put the voices and perspectives of young people and families at the center of everything we do. The Parent Advisory Board is a group of six leaders (three pictured here) helping to ensure that CHV programming is as valuable as possible for the families with whom we partner.

Last week we gathered to discuss an upcoming event hosted by PAB with families in our Guaranteed Income cohort and feedback on future pilot programs. Thank you Ingrid, Kenneth, Michelle, Priscilla, Sherene, and Tierra for dedicating your time and sharing your expertise! We’re so grateful to have your input informing the future of our work.
