The Meriwest Community Foundation has awarded $1,000 Financial Education Recognition Awards to two outstanding PARTI Program youth—Samantha and Eyoel—in celebration of their commitment to leadership, community service, and financial literacy.
This recognition highlights the shared mission between Meriwest Community Foundation and PARTI Program to empower youth through education, workforce readiness, and responsible money management.
“By working together with our community partners, we aim to create a brighter future for those in need,” said a representative from the Meriwest Community Foundation."
Looking ahead, PARTI’s goal for 2026 is to expand this opportunity by providing 10 student ambassadors with $1,000 each in Financial Education Awards—helping them build a strong foundation for future financial independence and success.
Together, Meriwest and PARTI continue to open doors of opportunity and inspire the next generation of financially empowered leaders.

PARTI in partnership with local businesses, community groups, Chamber Of Commerce, education, and civic partners, build pathways for youth to develop skills to increase economic mobility and decrease the risk of unmet safety net needs which contributes to education disparities, and behavioral health risk factors, and unstable households.

For 25 years, PARTI has used a multi-phased approach across various programs to address youth needs while equipping them to build essential skills for future success across diverse industries.
Our Game Plan: develop leadership, promote healthy lifestyles and mental wellness, and build workforce readiness skills in every participant. The Result: Youth Champion for their peers and their community.
