"An Oasis in the Desert".
Watch this 8 minute video detailing the beginnings of the Xposure Science, Technology, Finance and Employment Institute for Youth. Listen to Executive Director Raymond L. Thomas Jr. talk passionately about why he felt the need to create an outside the box educational program that exposes children as young as 5 yrs. of age to bank books, science, technology, employment skills and the stock market.
Listen to parents like Ms. Tracy Brown, Mr. C.D. James and PS 81 Principal Ms. Cheryl Ault talk about how a program like Xposure can help change the fortunes of our young people as well as the communities in which they live.
"It is my belief that our number one job as teachers, parents and a community is to expose our young people to the infinite number of opportunities they have to become productive, successful citizens in this great country".

Carver Federal Savings Bank has allowed the children to transfer money from their savings accounts into their online account to purchase stocks.
