Umpqua Bank donates $2,500 to Central Coast Girl Scouts
In celebration of Girl Scouts of the Central Coast’s work in the community, the Umpqua Bank Charitable Foundation presented the organization’s leaders with a $2,500 Community Giving grant on May 7.
The grant will support Girl Scouts Cookie University (Cookie U), a unique way for girls to develop a comprehensive set of financial literacy, job, and leadership skills by connecting with a diverse network of business leaders, college students, and peers, and engaging in hands-on, interactive activities centered on Girl Scouts’ annual cookie sale. Cookie U gives girls an early introduction to financial education, exploring financial concepts through experiential, learning-by-doing finance-related activities with their peers and adult role models.
