Delivering education with access at the center
Helping people understand their finances is one of the most important things we do at Citizens. Through Citizens Money Essentials, our colleague‑led financial education program, skilled and passionate colleagues deliver company‑approved financial empowerment workshops to individuals and small businesses.
Workshops are offered in English and Spanish, helping expand access to financial education across the communities we serve. Our education efforts continue to evolve to better support people at key financial moments — including students and young people building financial confidence early.
Colleagues also support the communities where we live and work by serving as mentors, providing free volunteer income tax assistance, and engaging in nonprofit board service - bringing financial education and expertise directly into communities.

Partnering for Empowerment and Impact
We support nonprofit organizations whose financial education and resources help advance social equity, close opportunity gaps and revitalize local communities so all people can realize their potential. We support nonprofit organizations whose financial education and resources expand economic opportunities and revitalize local communities. In 2026, Citizens committed $2.85M to support 135 local non-profit financial empowerment programs who are helping our neighbors and communities reach their financial goals.
Junior Achievement
Junior Achievement is the nation's largest organization, committed to equipping young individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary for economic empowerment.
