The Newberry Institute is proud to partner with CARE through the Digital Financial Literacy Training for Rural Women – Georgia initiative.
As part of this partnership, Dr. Julius Johnson recently participated in CARE’s Train-the-Trainer session, strengthening his capacity to support the delivery of digital financial literacy programming for rural women.

This initiative is focused on strengthening digital financial literacy, supporting economic mobility and building the capacity of community based organizations serving rural women.
We look forward to continuing our partnership with CARE and bringing this opportunity to women across our rural Georgia community.

Building capacity. Supporting rural women. Advancing economic mobility.

Juneteenth celebration.

This Juneteenth, The Newberry Institute was proud to stand alongside CARE and our community partners to celebrate freedom while creating pathways to opportunity.

From financial literacy and digital empowerment to leadership development and community resources, we connected with women and families who are helping build stronger communities every day.

Because when women lead, communities thrive.
