AMERANT BANK PARTNERS WITH OVERTOWN YOUTH CENTER
July 05 2023 - 11:43AM
Amerant Bank, the largest community bank headquartered in Florida,
today announced a new partnership with the Overtown Youth Center
(OYC Miami), a renowned nonprofit, that provides year-round
comprehensive services to youth, adults and families, who live in
some of the most underserved neighborhoods in South Florida. This
collaboration aims to provide them with the necessary tools to
achieve long-term financial success.
Through this meaningful partnership, Amerant aims to leverage
its financial expertise and resources to bolster OYC Miami's
ongoing efforts in financial literacy. Amerant will have the
distinction of being named a partner in OYC Miami's new facility,
where a classroom will be dedicated to hosting financial literacy
workshops for middle schoolers. The bank will also have a principal
team member serving on the OYC Miami Board that will contribute
their strategic insights and collaborate closely with OYC Miami's
dedicated team to develop and implement programs that promote
financial education, budgeting skills, and responsible money
management among the young individuals served by the
organization.
"Our partnership with the Overtown Youth Center represents a
shared commitment to empower the next generation with essential
financial skills," said Jerry Plush, Chairman and CEO at Amerant
Bank. "We are excited to work alongside the OYC team to make a
tangible difference in the lives of these young individuals."
Founded in 2003 by NBA Hall-of-Famer Alonzo Mourning and real
estate developer Martin Z. Margulies, OYC Miami has been a beacon
of hope for the Overtown and surrounding Miami communities,
providing invaluable educational and personal development
opportunities, regardless of background or income level, for two
decades. By focusing on financial literacy, OYC Miami equips the
youth with the essential knowledge and skills to make educated
financial decisions through every stage of life.
"We are so proud to have Amerant on board with us in our mission
to empower and educate our youth,” Tina Brown, CEO at OYC
Miami. “By joining forces, we can provide even greater
resources and expertise to foster financial literacy among our
students, enabling them to make informed financial decisions and
build a strong foundation for future generations."
