We are a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering underserved youth through financial literacy and scholarship opportunities.
Our mission is to equip them with the knowledge and resources needed to achieve financial independence as adults, enabling them to create lasting, positive change in the world.
​
Currently, more than 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and 69% of households have less than $1,000 in emergency savings.
Part of the root cause of this issue is that the current educational system does not teach personal financial literacy.
Zen Coast Cares strives to change this. Join us on this journey of empowerment, as we inspire and educate the next generation.

Our Pillars
EDUCATION
We go to Middle and High Schools to educate our youth on the essential knowledge and skills necessary for navigating the complexities of financial literacy and get them exposed to how to thrive in the real world, so they can be equipped and be able to give back to the next generation.
DEVELOPMENT
​Getting financial literacy is not just a one-time thing... it is over time being surrounded by an environment that creates the habit. We want to keep them exposed to the mindset and language around financial literacy, and equip them with ongoing video education to create the habits to sustain kids to adulthood!
GRANTS
​We partner with other non-profits that support missions to stop sex trafficking, rehabilitate our veterans, and are first responders to natural disasters around the world. These partnerships facilitate the sharing of best practices, and innovative solutions, toward achieving a compassionate world.
SCHOLARSHIP
​We believe financial barriers should never stand in the way of a student's potential. Our scholarship program is dedicated to supporting high-school students in need by providing them resources to pursue higher education, create a massive impact in their communities and beyond.

Reviews
Calvin taught me how to save my money, how time is important and not to be afraid. He said we needed to work hard to earn money.
Calvin & Jennie was nice. They told us a lot about their job and they are good investor. I learned quite a lot about how to succeed and do well.
