2007 Saver of the Year: Aniya Green

  Aniya Green
Founder of Foster Youth Nonprofit Organization

Aniya spent her whole life in foster care, living in one group home after another. She set her sights on starting a small business – inspired by her own experience. She used her EARN savings to start You First Community Services, a non-profit foster housing organization. Aniya believes a bright future is ahead for the youths in her home... and for herself and her newborn son Jaydinn. “EARN taught me so much. I am more mature, more business-minded. I’m not your average 20-year-old.”
