Talented Tenth Program
Our focus is to bridge the generational wealth gap between un-informed high school youth and equitable access to critical financial knowledge/skills. It is our mission to provide under served and under resourced communities with the opportunity to build a strong economic mobility in order to acquire financial freedom for themselves and future generations. We believe in investing in the future and there is no future without our young people. Therefore, our greatest return on investment is the investment that our youth make in themselves.
