At SJS Investment Services, we believe financial literacy is one of the most powerful tools you can develop early in life. When individuals build strong financial habits at a young age, they gain more than just knowledge - they can develop discipline, confidence, and long-term resilience.

This winter, we had the pleasure of hosting two students from Northview High School through our six-week financial literacy student shadow program in our Sylvania, Ohio office.

This fall, we had the pleasure of working with Isaac Saffold, an intern from Georgetown University. Isaac joined us through a meaningful connection — he was referred by the Georgetown football coach, as SJS Senior Advisor Andrew Schaetzke also played on the team. It’s a great example of how strong relationships open doors and create opportunities.

We asked SJS interns Elizabeth Molique and Isabelle Szenderski to write a summary of what they did throughout the summer.
