“Starting a new school year is an exciting time. Since this year is unlike any other, we are proud to introduce a digital financial education program to compliment distance learning to help families and guardians,” said Damian Alarcon, Director of Community Relations for Travis Credit Union. “The Back-to-School Rally is our way of helping bring youth together to celebrate financial education and all the new opportunities that this school year will bring.”
The rally will feature guest speakers from across the 12 counties served by TCU.
- Dr. Edgar Lampkin, Superintendent of the Williams Unified School District, will provide a welcome to students.
- Youth leaders from the Woodland Teen Advisory Board, the San Pablo Youth Commission, RYSE Center (in Richmond) and the Fairfield Police Activities League will share teen projects they are launching to support the return to schools.
- The Grand Prize winner of the Back-to-School Challenge will be announced live.
