Introducing New Day

For young people, financial basics like opening a bank account, building credit and saving for the future can be challenging. It’s even harder if you are leaving foster care, and you don’t have a knowledgeable mentor, caregiver or parent to help you learn to manage money. That's where Opportunity Passport® comes in. It’s a program that has helped more than 22,000 young people build financial skills over the past 25 years. In the second episode of the Annie E. Casey Foundation's series on what young people need to thrive, host Gloria Riviera talks with Sandy Wilkie, Senior Fellow at the foundation, and Von Jackson, an Opportunity Passport participant, about how the right education and support can transform a young person's financial future. 

This episode was made possible with support from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, an organization that develops solutions to build a brighter future for children, youth, families and communities. Learn more and access the free curriculum, The Keys to Your Financial Future at aecf.org.

Thrive: Learning to Save and Budget Helps Youth Thrive Into Adulthood

What does it take for young people to thrive? In this first episode of a six-part series, host Gloria Riviera sits down with Lisa Lawson, President and CEO of the Annie E. Casey Foundation and author of Thrive: How the Science of the Adolescent Brain Helps Us Imagine a Better Future for All Children. Lisa makes the case that adolescence is a powerful period of growth, and shares what the science and on-the-ground work tell us about supporting the 48 million young people in America between the ages of 14 and 24. She also introduces the five pillars shaping the path to adulthood that will guide the rest of the series: basic needs, permanent connections, education and credentials, financial stability and well-being, and youth leadership.

Thrive: What Adolescents Need to Successfully Cross the Bridge to Adulthood

The Marguerite Casey Foundation recently hit an impressive milestone: 100 percent alignment of their billion-dollar endowment with their mission of building community power and making the government work better for people. That meant screening out harmful investments, investing in diverse managers and ensuring every dollar supports their values. To understand exactly how they made it happen, host Gloria Riviera talks with the Foundation’s President and CEO, Dr. Carmen Rojas, and their Vice President of Investments and Operations, Dan Gould. Together, they make the case for how their accomplishments can be a model for philanthropy more broadly and why aligning the endowment is just the first step.


This episode is presented by the Marguerite Casey Foundation. MCF supports leaders who work to shift the balance of power in their communities toward working people and families, and who have the vision and capacity for building a truly representative economy.
