MALIBU – This spring SIFE will continue to help the community by using their business skills. Recently, SIFE has teamed up with PATH Los Angeles to help educate the homeless on financial literacy.
PATH (People Assisting the Homeless) is a full-service homeless agency, providing transitional housing and employment assistance. Each week, SIFE will send a group of students to PATH to hold financial literacy seminars for participants in the PATHFinders program. The seminars will cover everything from budgeting to setting up a bank account.
SIFE’s seminars will work to fill an unfortunate gap in the Los Angeles area, as many homeless programs are only focused on job preparation. Creating a basis of financial literacy within the PATHFinder participants will likely lead to a brighter, and more stable future.
