Testimonials

“I am grateful to become a financial coach with the Travis Credit Union Foundation. This opportunity has provided me with additional tools to assist my clients. It has been an immensely fulfilling experience. I am also grateful for the existence of organizations like the Travis Credit Union Foundation which aim to support minorities and because it will create a positive ripple effect in our communities.”
Iracema Camargo, Workforce Program Coordinator with the San Pablo Economic Development Corporation “I’m a confidential advocate working on campus with Cal Maritime supporting college students on issues related to gender-based violence and abuse. I’m excited to integrate the Travis Credit Union Foundation’s financial coaching program into my work as a means to further connect with students. Many of the clients I work with are new to the world of work, money management, and relationships. Coaching them on their finances helps better prepare them for challenges and opportunities that they may face in this new phase of their life.”

“The use of financial coaching as well as the funds we received from the Travis Credit Union Foundation will equip us to better serve our beneficiaries and allow them an opportunity to become more self-sufficient, which is a great complement to our work at Opportunity House, which empowers independence for our residents and beneficiaries.”
Serena Eastman, Director of Shelters and Programs, Opportunity House “I used to be a certified financial planner many years ago, and I appreciate the opportunity to obtain additional training as a financial coach with the Travis Credit Union Foundation. Being able to deliver financial education fills a gap for what is missing in schools today and restructures the way families discuss budgets, the use of credit, home purchases, savings, and debt. It’s important to invest in financial education so that people can learn from past errors and achieve their future goals.”
