WE BELIEVE IN ENDING THE CYCLE OF GENERATIONAL POVERTY.
A common experience for children growing up in low-income households is lacking the knowledge or resources to become financially independent adults. The Job Foundation is dedicated to changing this by providing essential financial education and making a long-term investment in the lives of those children in our community.
The Job Foundation's Framework for Success
Education
Lessons take place during the school year, equipping students with financial and leadership skills
to become financially independent adults.
Conditional
Cash Transfers
Students receive earnings based on good grades, attendance, and behavior at school.
Mentoring
Students are paired with a volunteer mentor that serves as a long-term positive role model in their lives.
Together, we can ignite hope and opportunity.
By equipping our youth with the skills to manage money and build assets, we are not just transforming individual futures. We're fostering a community where every child can thrive and contribute to a more equitable world.
