What People Are Saying

Community Financial Resources
CFR Partner

For one of our youth Focus Card holders, this was the first time anyone in her family had entered into the banking system. She began to share what she learned from us and our financial literacy programs with her family, which put them on a path to new tools and relationships with banking.

CFR has and continues to provide our youth with quality financial tools and products that uplift work that we do here at RYSE. These financial supports have greatly increased the opportunities our young people are able to provide themselves, their families, and community.
