Fellow Supporters,
The day has finally come where we are actively engaging students throughout Generation A (Gen A) program within the Lufkin Independent School District! This partnership allows us to provide in-school mentorship for twenty-three (23) at-risk students from their Sixth Grade year until their 12th Grade year. Each year we will add approximately 20-25 students. When the program is fully functional, we will have up to 175 students within seven years. We will focus on character-building, goal setting, personal finance, investments, entrepreneurship and much more! Stay tuned as we look to expand this program.
Next, we've completed the first course (Personal Finance) within our newly created online LIFE Academy! This is a major development which broadens our potential audience. Now, anyone in the world may access our curriculum on any computer or any mobile device! In fact, our partner (Worldclass) has both Android and iOS apps available in their respective app stores. Feel free to take a look at life.worldclass.io.
Lastly, we have rebranded our website to become more functional for those who use mobile devices. Please take the time to look around. We now have links to our online banking partner Chime Bank who is committed to providing free accounts to their customers without the possibility of incurring overdraft charges. They also provide free bill pay and a free savings account! Our pre-paid debit card partner CashPass is also featured on our page. The CashPass card allows parents to teach their children money management and budgeting from the age of 13!
Your support has driven us to this point in our journey. There is so much more to come, but we need you now more than ever. As we expand and mature as an organization, fulfilling our mission will only be possible with the generous support of people and organizations who share our passion. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
