Icouldbe.org Receives Grant From E*Trade to Mentor 650 Students Across the U.S.

“From the perspective of our corporate volunteer and giving programs, icouldbe.org’s model allows us to reach our employee volunteer goals as well as our Community Reinvestment Act goals,” Ms. Niehaus continued.

“We have found that our partnerships with corporate institutions mutually benefit the students, employees and the company,” said Kate Schrauth, Executive Director of icouldbe.org. “E*TRADE shares icouldbe.org’s commitment to increasing financial literacy and independence. The powerful combination of sponsoring schools in the communities which E*TRADE serves and enabling their employees to volunteer as mentors has provided the emotional support and life-coaching to transform at-risk youth’s goals from hoping to graduate from high school to having fully vetted and individualized career and post-secondary educational plans.”
