For A Bright Future Foundation and Redwood Credit Union Launch NextGen Finance Lab in Lake County
The For A Bright Future Foundation (FABF) has partnered with the Redwood Credit Union Community Fund to launch the NextGen Finance Lab at Lower Lake High School. Supported by a $25,000 grant, the initiative will run during the 2026–2027 school year to provide project-based financial literacy training to students in Northern California. The program integrates the Dave Ramsey Financial Literacy curriculum with industry mentorship from Redwood Credit Union professionals. Students will engage in practical learning regarding budgeting, debt management, and investing, culminating in a business concept competition titled 'Pitch Like A Dragon.' This partnership aims to bridge the opportunity gap for underserved youth by providing direct access to financial career paths and community-rooted banking expertise.
