Save for College Program: Empowering NYC's Future

The Save for College Program was launched with a mission to empower every NYC public school student to dream big, build financial assets for their college and career training, and receive robust community support. This initiative is pivotal in fostering a culture of ambition and financial preparedness among the youth of New York City.

Key Components and Objectives:

  • Financial Empowerment: Equips students with the tools and knowledge to plan for their future through financial education workshops and tailored savings accounts.

  • Community Support: Engages families, schools, and local organizations to provide a supportive network that encourages educational attainment.

  • Partnership with Kids Rise and District 15: Through a strong collaboration, enhances support for families across various school communities. This partnership strengthens parent engagement and enriches school celebrations and events, fostering a cohesive environment for student success.

  • Prepares students early for college and career opportunities, ensuring they have the financial resources to pursue their aspirations.

  • Builds stronger school communities by involving parents and local organizations in the educational journey of students.

  • Sets the stage for long-term financial stability and personal growth, empowering students to contribute meaningfully to society. The Save for College Program: The NYC Kids RISE Save for College Program
