SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Axos Bank today announced that its employees have volunteered over 1,000 hours of their time since 2013 to support Junior Achievement of San Diego County’s work-readiness and financial literacy programs for youth.
“While Axos is a digital-first bank, we’re fully committed to improving the real-world communities where we live and work,” said Axos President and CEO Greg Garrabrants. “As we continue to develop a national presence from our San Diego headquarters, it’s an honor for us to team with Junior Achievement to give back and help position children from across the region for future success.”
Axos has also donated $10,000 since 2017 to Junior Achievement of San Diego County, which aims to get K-12 students "real world ready" through hands-on programs that show them how to get a job, start a business, and manage their money.
“"We are grateful for committed partners like Axos Bank, both for their philanthropic and volunteer contributions,” said Junior Achievement of San Diego County President and CEO Siddhartha Vivek. “Through JA San Diego, Axos employees are a part of serving more than 20,000 students across the county through hands-on lessons focused on financial literacy, work-readiness, and entrepreneurship.”
