As a teacher, Michelle Young noticed a gap between privileged and underprivileged students in her classroom. To address that disparity, she created the Michelle Young Foundation to connect students with educational learning and team sports opportunities they might not normally have access to.

Michelle chose Bell Bank as her private banking partner to help grow the foundation’s impact. Bell has worked alongside Michelle, going the extra mile to introduce her to partners, investors and athletes who share her mission of helping underprivileged youth.

“Bell Bank really opened those doors to make that happen a lot sooner, and that’s something that has given the foundation incredible opportunities,” Michelle said. “They know my mission, they genuinely take time to get to know me as a person, and that showed me what their focus and priorities are - and it’s to care about people.”
