The Brother2Brother Fellowship is hosting a free Financial Literacy & Personal Business training led by Christopher Beene, Vice President and Community Manager of Community and Business Development at JPMorgan Chase, on Saturday, October 4th, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Civil Rights Institute of Inland Southern California.

This empowering session is designed to help Black men improve their financial literacy, explore ethical money-making strategies, and understand how education plays a role in personal growth and building wealth. Participants will join a supportive community of brothers dedicated to long-term wellness and personal development.

Beene hosts financial health workshops, builds nonprofit collaborations, and delivers inclusive programming that supports JPMorgan Chase’s broader mission to close racial wealth gaps and foster generational mobility — particularly within Black and Latinx communities. He brings over 15 years of experience in the financial services industry.

"Join us Saturday, October 4, and take a personal step toward improving your financial literacy and wealth-building skills for yourself and your family. A complimentary breakfast is included. We invite you to register online at bit.ly/flpbg10425," said facilitator John Epps.

The training will be at 3933 Mission Inn Avenue, Suite 103, Riverside, CA 92501. Check-in and hosted breakfast begin at 8:30 a.m.

For more information about the Brother2Brother Fellowship and this upcoming session, contact John Epps at jepps910@gmail.com  or Jonathan Buffong at jbbuffong@youthactionproject.org.  

 

“Join us as we continue this journey of growth and empowerment—together,” said Buffong.
