We believe the stronger our financial capabilities, such as tracking personal spending, budgeting, and controlling debt, the more confident we can become, making more informed financial decisions that can lead to a fulfilling life with greater stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BayCoast Bank is proud to work with YouthBuild Preparatory Academy (YBPA) in Providence, Rhode Island, which provides an educational experience focused on engaging young men of color, preparing them to be confident, civically engaged leaders. The Academy promotes social and emotional wellness for each student, providing academic support while serving the unique needs of students from urban core communities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-d1a70ae\" data-block-id=\"d1a70ae\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-d1a70ae-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-795adcf\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"795adcf\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:768px){.stk-795adcf{flex:1 1 66.7% !important}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-795adcf-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-795adcf-inner-blocks\">\n<p>The Academy\u2019s model is comprised of academic coursework and applied learning that creates community leaders who successfully transition into meaningful post-secondary careers and educational programs. The collaboration between BayCoast Bank and the Academy ensures that young people stay engaged in learning, while having access to critical educational opportunities, which include financial literacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The financial literacy class at YBPA, which is supported by BayCoast Bank, gives students the knowledge and skills they need for responsible money management. The Money Smart curriculum provided by BayCoast, consists of 12 modules with a variety of topics to help young adults confidently control their finances, including: budgeting, understanding and effectively using credit, managing debt, and more. At the completion of the Money Smart program, students participate in a Credit for Life Fair, where they put their financial knowledge into practice, to see if they can manage a budget and survive the monetary challenges that await them in the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe financial literacy programs we provide YBPA offer money management skills that will last a lifetime,\u201d said Lucia Rebelo, AVP, Financial Literacy Education Officer for BayCoast Bank. \u201cWe are so proud to partner with YouthBuild and offer these interactive programs that are essential to building strong financial habits and allowing students to be proactive about their financial futures.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-5c0634a\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"5c0634a\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:768px){.stk-5c0634a{flex:1 1 33.3% !important}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-5c0634a-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-5c0634a-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-1b8b44f\" data-block-id=\"1b8b44f\"><style>.stk-1b8b44f .stk-img-wrapper{width:null% !important;height:nullpx !important}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-11567\" src=\"https:\/\/baycoast.bank\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/YBPA_Full_Stack2-1.png\" width=\"282\" height=\"300\"\/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-45cd0a8\" data-block-id=\"45cd0a8\"><style>.stk-45cd0a8 .stk-img-wrapper{width:100% !important;height:250px !important}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-11558\" src=\"https:\/\/baycoast.bank\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Picture1_edited.jpg\" width=\"184\" height=\"245\"\/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-3315942\" data-block-id=\"3315942\"><style>.stk-3315942 .stk-img-wrapper{width:100% !important;height:150px !important}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-11561\" src=\"https:\/\/baycoast.bank\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Picture2.jpg\" width=\"188\" height=\"242\"\/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Students say they are energized by the Credit For Life program, which for many, has inspired an entrepreneurial spirit. \u201cMy experience doing the Credit for Life Fair was very insightful.
