Last week, we culminated some amazing work with 8 different clients in our community. Students were able to share and celebrate the journey, but the work doesn’t stop there.

We’re so proud of these 5. They represented themselves, their families, and Amp Lab with pride and excellence at the STARTedUp Foundation Region 5 Finals.

We are proud of what they have and will continue to accomplish!

We’re so grateful for our partnership with @3Riversfcu. This year they provided nearly 100 one-on-one college funding, personal finance, or business finance meetings.

Not a generic or canned approach, but real and raw financial insight building student by student.

Authenticity is a word that anyone can define how they want. At Amp Lab, it comes to life with raw continuous relationships. Sometimes students drop the ball with the mentors. Sometimes the mentor pushes them in a new direction.

However, it is always raw, real, and authentic.
