Cultural Steps Taste, Learn and Prosper
Culture, Cuisine and Finance
We're only away from our goal. Every dollar counts!
Join us for Cultural Steps, an immersive experience celebrating diversity through ethnic cuisine and financial education. This unique event invites Pioneers, Explorers, and the community to explore a variety of cultural dishes provided by local businesses and restaurants.
Event Highlights:
- Credit for Life: Led by Dawn Creighton of Liberty Bank, this financial literacy exercise guides youth through real-life scenarios where they’ll learn about budgeting, credit, and decision-making. Participants will experience how money works, navigating through choices regarding housing, transportation, and lifestyle expenses, gaining practical insights into financial responsibility.
- Cultural Exploration Through Cuisine: After completing the financial simulation, attendees will enjoy delicious ethnic cuisines. This celebration of global flavors is designed to connect participants with local business owners and entrepreneurs, each offering a taste of their heritage. From Latin American dishes to Caribbean and African cuisines, there’s something for everyone to savor and enjoy.
Impactful Engagement
This year, we’re focusing on integrating cultural appreciation with essential life skills, ensuring that our youth leave with a better understanding of how to manage their financial future.
