Community Foundation grant sets financial clarity for Clark College students

Clark College Foundation received a grant from the Community Foundation for Southwest Washington to assist in breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty in the region.

The $30,000 grant is designated for a full-time financial literacy coach within Clark College’s Career Services department.

“This financial literacy coach will provide much-needed, one-on-one assistance to many of Clark’s most vulnerable students to help them set practical and achievable financial goals so they can succeed in college,” said Lisa Gibert, president/CEO, Clark College Foundation.

The grant provides the funding to upgrade an existing Career Services position from part-time to full-time. The individual will conduct workshops and classroom presentations focusing on topics such as budgets, balancing a checkbook, understanding credit cards, credit scores and loan repayment, according to Edie Blakley, director of Career and Veteran Services. Working with students to teach them financial wellness strategies will result in self-sufficiency and increase the likelihood that they will attain their economic, education and career goals.
