"Over the past 30 years, the richest 1 percent of Americans saw their wealth grow by nearly 300 percent. At the same time, the poorest 50 percent saw no growth. " — Congress Must Act to Reduce Inequality for Working Families"Lack of income security for millions of families and rising inequality across American society makes our whole country more vulnerable to recessions and other economic shocks." — Health and Wealth Inequality in America"When people believe that income and opportunity distribution is unfair, they disengage from social and economic life. This, in turn, may contribute to societal polarization, the weakening of social fabric and a rise of extremist sentiment." — Global Social Mobility Report 2020: Equality, Opportunity, and a New Economic ImperativeSETP’s approach
Vision: SETP strives to eliminate socioeconomic gaps by increasing access to the resources required to build wealth: information, money, and networks.
Methods: SETP programs go beyond just education. We work shoulder to shoulder with members of the community to translate knowledge into action and action into wealth creation. SETP programs focus on the building blocks of wealth creation and wealth preservation- college readiness, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship.
