What a beautiful example of women supporting women!

One of our amazing financial coaching clients recently selected RISE! to be the recipient of a community grant from Foresters Financial, and now our girls enrolled in RISE! at Young Women’s Leadership Academy will receive bags full of everyday essentials and some special self-care goodies!

It was so special to witness one of the very women we serve turning around and supporting the next generation, and you can support RISE! too this back-to-school season by donating through the link below!

Meet Lisbeth, our 2026 RISE! Money Makes a Difference winner!

Like many girls, Lisbeth was originally a little hesitant about joining RISE! but soon began to feel empowered by the financial education lessons - powerful knowledge that she was then able to take home to her family who was struggling after her mother was diagnosed with cancer last year.

Lisbeth hopes to become a pediatric oncology nurse and take the lessons and community she built in RISE! into her college and career experiences.

Help us empower more girls like Lisbeth by donating to support RISE! this season through the link below.

From inspiring breakout sessions and panel discussions to resume reviews and mock interviews, the day was a testament to the power that women possess when they invest in themselves and their goals.

Congratulations to our incredible Driven by Determination Award recipients, and thank you to the volunteers, speakers, and sponsors who made this event possible!

We are just a few short hours away from the Level Up YourLife Women's Conference, a full-day activation for the women of Greater Houston that wouldn't be possible without the support of Corebridge Financial.

Thank you for your commitment to the empowerment of women through financial education and career support!
