Building Bridges to the Future

Our mission is to help students (high school and college)  achieve financial security and make health allocations of their limited resources (money, time, energy).  We believe students need to plan and prepare for life after high school by setting goals, securing scholarships and internships, developing realistic plans and budgets, and assess choices (career and college) to ultimately be successful and healthy.  Avoiding stress through developing time management, resource assessment, and budgeting skills promotes healthy choices.  To reach our goal, Valley Oak staff provide direct services such as financial coaching, college/career education through individual personal and small group session.  These services are provided Monday through Saturday, 8 am – 11pm recognizing family time constraints.

 

Our services are made possible through grants

— FREE to you!
