Webster Bank opens first Finance Lab in Rhode Island
New England Council member, Webster Bank, has helped open the first Finance Lab in Rhode Island. With the support of a $100,000 grant from Webster Bank, the Boys & Girls Club of Providence opened a Finance Lab.
The opening of this Finance Lab marks the ninth one opened through the Webster Finance Lab program, which aims to increase financial literacy among young people through partnerships with nonprofits. The hope with this program is to offer financial education tools, workshops and real-world experiences. This program aims to help people navigate financial challenges and increase confidence around their own finances and economic situation.
“We are proud to partner with Boys & Girls Clubs of Providence to open the first Finance Lab in Rhode Island,” said Marissa Weidner, Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer at Webster Bank. “Webster continues to invest in programs that broaden financial empowerment opportunities and strengthen our commitment to creating economic vitality in the neighborhoods where we live and work.”
