Our Joslin students got a crash course in adulting with a hands-on #financialliteracy and budgeting experience — learning how to balance needs vs. wants, plan for the future, and make smart money decisions. Big thanks Junior Achievement of Chicago AND to our amazing volunteers from Enova International for walking students through each budget item and sharing real-world financial wisdom. We’re building confident, capable leaders who know how to take charge of their futures! Learn how to partner with us in the comments. 👇🏾 #ShowGratitude #WeLiveADisciplinedLife

We're grateful for John Musachia's incredible support as a partner and donor at Perspectives Charter School, where he provides math and science tutoring and champions our students' futures in STEM. His message is powerful: "Academic support shouldn't end when the school bell rings. The right guidance can open doors students didn't even know existed." We echo John's call to action for STEM professionals to partner with schools and mentor the next generation. As he says, "Mentorship isn't about having all the answers - it's about helping someone ask better questions."
