Learn and Earn

The Learn and Earn Program is a component of Mr. and Ms. Mentoring that focuses on educating the youth of the financial basics. Youth will receive trainings, and each youth will receive several templates of examples taught, so that they can incorporate it into their own vision once graduated. The goal is to place youth with an employer of choice, where they will learn skills and task that help that employer complete their job on a daily basis.
