This National Volunteer Week, as we reflect on our young adult programming, we want to extend a sincere thank you to all of our volunteers.

Last week, students from Cesar Chavez Academy joined us through a partnership with University of Michigan's GEARUp program for a financial literacy workshop and career panel. The event would not have been possible without our volunteer financial instructor and the panelists who generously gave their time and shared their knowledge with the students.

We’re grateful for the impact you continue to make. Thank you!
