America has spent a decade wringing its hands over who isn’t showing up to college, but not enough time wondering why so many who do never make it out

Another LEAF School Year is in the Books! 🌱

As we wrapped up our final LEAF Steering Committee meeting of the academic year, we wanted to take a moment to thank the incredible partners, educators, volunteers, and supporters who help make this program possible.

Together, we continue to inspire students across Lapeer County to learn, save, and dream big. Because of your commitment, LEAF is helping young people build brighter futures one deposit, one lesson, and one goal at a time.

📚 Student Accounts: 6,771
💰 Total Saved: $366,842

These numbers represent more than dollars and accounts—they represent opportunities, aspirations, and a community investing in its future.

Thank you for another successful year of growing financial confidence and educational attainment for local students. We are excited to welcome our 8th cohort of LEAF students this fall and continue this important work together.

What if a children’s savings account (CSA) program could also address mental health, physical wellness, financial literacy, and more—all in one day?

That's exactly what the Lapeer County Education Attainment Fund (LEAF) pulled off with the LEAF 360! Wellness Fair, a first-of-its-kind countywide event that brought together 30 community partner organizations and gave families the chance to earn up to $80 for their students' savings accounts just by participating.

Made possible in part by the Innovation & Sustainability Grant administered by CEDAM and the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, the event is a powerful example of what's possible when a CSA program thinks beyond the account. Congratulations to the LEAF team and all their partners on an incredible event!
