OUR SJC LEARNING COMMUNITY

OUR LEARNING COMMUNITY

With COVID-19 impacting life and work as we know it, the CFE Fund has decided to embark on a strategic re-envisioning of the SJC Learning Community!  At this moment in time, its important to utilize our network of Summer Youth Employment Programs (SYEPs) to foster relationships, share knowledge, and support one another.

The revamped Learning Community will aim to:

• Provide a learning-centered model that facilitates connections and sharing between cities 
• Strengthen relationships between grantees of different cohorts and geographies
• Offer techniques, strategies and ideas on how to implement effective financial empowerment programming
• Assist partners with providing remote access to youth-friendly banking products
• Offer a place to exchange ideas to sustain our work and improve program outcomes
• Cultivate sustainability and longevity through strategic thinking and partnership
• Yield success stories and other evidence of community impact

Financial Empowerment in SYEP

The CFE Fund's Summer Jobs Connect initiative provides funding and technical assistance to municipally-led Summer Youth Employment Programs (SYEPs) to provide structural linkages to safe and appropriate banking products, services and education.

Financial Empowerment is only one of the many parts that make up your Summer Youth Employment Program. However, evidence has shown that providing financial support to participants in social service programs can produce a "supervitamin effect" that improves underlying programmatic outcomes.
