FINANCIAL LITERACY
In 2022, the Dorrance Foundation for Education collaborated
with the 3rd DecadeĀ® Program to provide a financial literacy
course for DSP alumni.
In its inaugural class, twenty-five alumni participated. After
completing the course, the Dorrance Foundation for Education
awarded all participants $1k towards a Roth IRA account to
launch their financial futures.
3rd DecadeĀ® aims to equip the scholars with knowledge,
skills, and confidence to make the right financial decisions at
various stages of their lives by providing financial education
and conflict-free mentoring services to young adults.
