Project Title: Youth Financial Empowerment Lab (Ages 14–21)
Project Description:

Central City Neighborhood Partners (CCNP) proposes the Youth Financial Empowerment Lab, a one-year initiative serving low-income youth ages 14–21 in Los Angeles. The program equips participants with practical financial skills, workforce readiness, and pathways to economic independence.
Youth will participate in a structured series of workshops covering budgeting, banking, credit building, and income generation, combined with individualized coaching. Participants will also engage in career exploration sessions, resume development, and mock interviews.
The program prioritizes youth from immigrant and low-income households who face systemic barriers to financial literacy and employment opportunities. CCNP’s culturally responsive approach ensures content is accessible and relevant, with bilingual support and trusted community-based facilitators.
Over the course of the year, at least 75 youth will complete the program. Outcomes include increased financial knowledge, establishment of savings goals, improved job readiness, and connection to employment or education pathways.
Funding will support program materials, workshop facilitation, and direct youth engagement activities. This initiative provides young people with the tools to make informed financial decisions, build stability, and pursue long-term success.
