SPARKS-GLENCOE, Md.–First Financial FCU recently expanded their support of the TU Outstanding Young Women’s Leadership Program with a $30,000 sponsorship benefitting students from Baltimore County Public Schools and now, Carroll County Public Schools.
The Outstanding Young Women Leaders program offers select high school students from Baltimore and Carroll County the opportunity to develop essential leadership skills and gain valuable experience that will benefit them throughout their academic and professional lives. Participants also have the chance to network with professional women in the area, helping them build connections that can support their future success.
“As an education-based credit union, First Financial is committed to supporting education and helping young women become the leaders of tomorrow,” said First Financial President/CEO Eric Church. “It’s incredibly rewarding to see the positive impact these programs have on our community, and we’re honored to be a part of it.”
The initiative, in partnership with Towson University, Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS), and now Carroll County Public Schools (CCPS), marks the first time the Program has been expanded to include a second school district. Beyond financial support, First Financial staff members actively participate as mentors, offering guidance and expertise to the young women in the program.
