Kinoshita Elementary
Throughout the month of April, Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Volunteers visited Kinoshita Elementary, facilitating JA curriculum for students. The ALAs (Alliance for Latino/Hispanic Americans) connection group, which champions Kinoshita Elementary as their community partner, was instrumental in recruiting volunteers for this event. In total, 15 employees from Âé¶¹´«Ã½ and Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Re participated. In 2023, the Âé¶¹´«Ã½ FoundationÌýlaunched a SparkPoint OC financial literacy centerÌýin partnership with OC United Way on Kinoshita’s campus located in San Juan Capistrano, CA. Since the launch, over 40 parents have either participated or are currently enrolled in the year-long program, which provides them with 1:1 financial education training tailored to their unique situation. By partnering with JA to bring JA Day to the students, Âé¶¹´«Ã½â€™s commitment to helping Kinoshita families become more financially stable is spanning multiple generations.
