Our program is supported by a broad array of local and national corporations, foundations and individuals.
New Leaders is proud to have Capital One Bank as one of its largest corporate partners in the greater New York metro area. Across the communities it serves, Capital One Bank invests in education to expand opportunities for youth from preschool through college. In addition to funding organizations like New Leaders, the Bank offers a range of free educational programs and resources which our local New Leader Principals and many other educators across the country use in their schools. These resources include: Capital One/Junior Achievement Virtual Finance Park, a online financial education program that teaches middle school students about money management, to MoneyWi$e, a financial education program, to BankIt, a web-based curriculum that teaches individuals of all ages to make positive choices about money.
