Travis Credit Union has helped to make sure money matters to Solano County's foster youth.
The Vacaville, Calif.-based credit union has teamed up with Solano County Health and Social Services, CASA of Solano County, the United Way of the Bay Area and First Place for Youth and Alternative Family Services to launch the "Money Matters" program.
The program provides financial literacy education, custodial accounts and personal financial mentors for foster children between the ages of 15 to 17. The project is part of Solano County's "California Connected by 25″ initiative, an effort in eight California counties funded by the Walter S. Johnson Foundation, to help public child welfare agencies and their communities build a comprehensive system of support and services for youth leaving the foster care system. The goal is to connect foster youth by age 25 to opportunities, experiences and support that will help them to succeed as independent adults.
