Huge thank you to the Junior Achievement of Southern California team for hosting our DIY Girls participants and alumni at Finance Park yesterday, and a special shoutout to the wonderful group of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power volunteers who took time out of their busy schedules to lead our group through JA's financial literacy simulation!✨ Our group had a blast researching, budgeting, and shopping based on the scenarios – including income, marital status, and credit score – they were randomly assigned. Through this experience, our young participants and alumni got to experience firsthand what it takes to manage their own money and how personal situations can affect their budget. Learning about credit scores, loans, and banking helped our group feel less intimidated by budgeting and personal finances.🏦 Thank you, Junior Achievement of Southern California and LADWP, for helping us demystify personal finances and empower our participants and alumni to make smarter financial decisions! 🙌🏽 #FinancePark #LADWP #DIYGirls #LosAngeles #nonprofit #empowerment #FinancialLiteracy #KnowledgeIsPower

Our team spent the morning volunteering at the 20th Anniversary Power Women, Power Tools® build in San Fernando, hosted by Habitat for Humanity International LA and supported by City National Bank. We are so grateful for the incredible work Habitat LA is doing and thrilled to be a part of this transformative event. 🎨🔨 This year’s theme, “20 Years of CommUnity,” truly resonated with us as we joined 200 volunteers in repairing and beautifying homes for six local families. It was empowering to see female executives and leaders from diverse backgrounds come together to make a difference in our community. 💕 Thank you, Habitat LA, for organizing this uplifting annual event and for the opportunity to support and paint alongside such amazing women. Together, we’re building a stronger, more beautiful community! 🏡✨ #PowerWomenPowerTools #20YearsOfCommUnity #DIYGirls #HabitatLA #CommunityBuilding #WomenEmpowerment #DIYGirls #STEAMPowered
