In the heart of San Antonio, Texas, a special nonprofit organization is making waves of positive change through education and community empowerment. Restore Education, led by the visionary President and CEO Kelli Rhodes, has been tirelessly working to uplift families and provide them with the tools they need to create a brighter future. As Restore Education’s trusted financial partner, Broadway Bank is proud to feature their inspiring story and spread awareness of their mission. Both organizations share the same values and commitment to community growth. This collaboration isn't just about a bank and its customer, it's about building a stronger community together.

Empowering Through Education: A Beacon of Hope for Families

Restore Education's impact on the community is nothing short of remarkable. Kelli Rhodes beams with pride as she talks about the swift and direct impact they have on families. Through education, they empower families to break free from the cycle of limitations, allowing them to improve their circumstances and create a better life. The organization's dedication to their students and community is humbling, as they witness lives transformed daily, reinforcing their belief in the power of education.

One of the significant achievements of Restore Education is their role in bridging the gap between qualified job seekers and companies in need of skilled employees. Collaborating with partners, including Broadway Bank through initiatives like SA Ready to Work, they are working tirelessly to provide equitable workforce solutions that benefit the entire community.

Broadway Bank: A Steadfast Partner in the Journey of Empowerment

Beyond financial support, Broadway Bank has taken a holistic approach to furthering the organization's goals. By integrating their staff and resources, they have become a vital part of Restore Education's journey. Hosting students for workplace tours and offering financial education, Broadway Bank provides students with a tangible glimpse into potential careers, igniting aspirations and reshaping their life trajectories.

Broadway Bank also actively supports Restore Education's Financial Services Representative program. By inviting participants to the Main Financial Center in San Antonio, Broadway Bank provides program participants with insights from experienced bankers. These sessions offer a glimpse into the world of finance and the specific skills needed for success.  This commitment extends beyond mentorship, as Broadway Bank even sees graduates directly transitioning from the program into permanent positions as Broadway Bankers. This partnership highlights Broadway Bank's dedication to job readiness and their belief in the program's ability to cultivate top talent for the financial sector.

Kelli Rhodes acknowledges that Broadway Bank stands out because of its local roots and genuine commitment to building real relationships. The bank's dedication to the community goes beyond business transactions; it is about investing in the people and fostering a sense of belonging.
