We've updated our channel to discuss our Non Profit and For Profit sides because grant funding is not available every year and both are important to our listeners success 🚀

These Loans Are Absolutely Life-Changing

When a local Havasu teen reaches out to earn money for a college summer program, we are happy to help! Jimmy is only 15 years old and was in foster care not too long ago. He was trained up inside of 6 hours and has already had 2 great conversations today!

The best parts... he has the gift of gab (and listening!) so he can take these skills and work for our associates or other companies anywhere!

The script can change, but his communication and skills are already growing.

Katie's House Foundation 501c3 is proud to provide financial literacy and opportunities to teens, as a starting point to ensure they can secure their own safe roommate housing at the age of 18, along with a reliable vehicle and work ethic.

⭐ The Havasu community is really special and this is the jumping off point years of financial literacy + collaboration with business owners helping teens with mentorship and work opportunities in our town!

🚑 On that note, thank you Maggie for donating the teens private CPR classes to put on their resumes.

🤙 If you want to give back in any way at anytime or if you feel pulled to do nonprofit work in your business, Katie's House Foundation 501c is designed to work with the community for the community!! Reducing housing instability is a complex thing.

We will have an alumni and business meet up again in fall. Until then the kids each have more than one new business owner on speed dial.

Classes 5 & 6 at The Normalize Money Project put on by Katie's House Foundation 501c3 here in Lake Havasu:

This week the teens learned all about insurance, job hunting and investing!!

Over the course of more than 1 hour they learned what insurance is for, the various types that are available (so many!!) and what happens when you don't have it.

Included here was the importance of health insurance, life insurance and disability insurance, and how to set these up so the teens can provide for their future families.

Most people don't like to talk about money or death and yet 220,000 people die every year due to an accident.

If you have children, having a holographic will is the bare minimum, while a living trust is preferred + at least term life insurance which could be the difference between poverty or stability for your spouse/children.

Also what happens if you injure someone in your car, or your big ole dog bites someone? All these things that can happen and strip you bare.

In addition, the teens learned about reading and writing a resume, resume rabbit, how to get past online job bots, and how to greatly increase your chances that the recruiter or HR manager moves you to the top of their list for an interview.

We went over their individual Gallup Strengths Finder results and they incorporated that into their own unique 30 second elevator pitch... in preparation for our networking dinner here in LHC next week!

We also had a special guest. Brandi Cottingim Litzkow stopped in to share some sage advice on investing and how teens and adults can invest just $25 per week which compounds to over $1 million dollars.

This week the teens will take the money they have earned from this class during the pop quiz deal or no deal, and self invest that into a stock of their choice!

Sad to say we only have 2 classes left + our "graduation networking dinner" final class, where the teens will meet some local business owners who have volunteered to come and put them to the test.

Next summer, we'd love to have 50 kids or more (the whole 10th grade would be ideal) in these chairs 👇 or the HS gym learning financial literacy!
