Bank , Program Manager

At Branches, we believe every child should thrive and every family and community member can achieve financial wellness. We partner with families to build educational and financial assets, community, and hope; creating a safe, welcoming space where relationships come first, transformation is possible, and everyone is valued.

From serving over 550 students daily through our Grow and Climb programs, to reaching 10,000+ adults each year with our Achieve financial wellness services, to empowering local entrepreneurs through our Micro Business program, we are making a lasting impact in South Florida and we are excited about it.

We are a faith-based organization; keeping people at the heart of everything we do. Our culture is agile, collaborative, and fueled by purpose, we’re passionate about transforming lives, fearless in pursuing what’s possible, and driven by the entrepreneurial spirit it takes to meet challenges head-on. If you’re inspired by impact, energized by growth, and ready to help co-create brighter futures, we encourage you to join our amazing mission-driven team, where your work doesn’t just make a difference, it changes lives.

As part of our commitment to advancing financial wellness, Branches has taken on a leadership role in progressing the Bank On coalition in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. In alignment with our mission to help families build educational and financial assets, Branches is proud to serve as the convener and lead organization of the local Bank On coalition.

Through Bank On, we bring together banks and credit unions, community organizations, government agencies, and regulators to expand access to safe, affordable, and certified banking products. By integrating banking access into social services and financial wellness programs, we are helping unbanked and underbanked residents move toward long term financial stability.

This Fellowship role reflects Branches’ commitment to building brighter financial futures for individuals and families in South Florida, while contributing to the national Bank On network of best practices and innovation.

The Bank On Fellow will lead and grow the Bank On Miami
- Dade Coalition initiative. The Fellow will build and manage cross-sector partnerships with financial institutions, government agencies, community organizations, and regulators to expand access to safe, affordable banking for unbanked and underbanked residents. By coordinating coalition activities, aligning financial products with Bank On National Standards, and integrating banking access into existing programs, the Fellow will strengthen financial inclusion efforts and support Branches’ mission to empower families toward financial wellness.
