Regions Bank has introduced the Making Life Better Institute, which aims to reach communities with financial education and prosperity, according to a press release.

The institute will provide the following initiatives:

• Associates in Action employee volunteerism.
• Skills in Service to match employee's skills with needs of community partners.
• Financial education through Next Step Financial Wellness program.
• Continued support to community development financial institutions and minority depository institutions.

"Beginning in 2018, Regions enhanced its community engagement strategy to focus on one key goal: creating more inclusive prosperity. Now, we're taking another major step forward by combining enhanced volunteerism strategies with new initiatives to build financial inclusion, additional efforts to create financial wellness, and more," Leroy Abrahams, head of community affairs for Regions Bank, said in the release.

"Making life better is more than a mission statement at Regions; it's how our associates approach their daily work and the initiatives we are launching to help more people and communities thrive. Through the Making Life Better Institute, we are not only refining our community engagement strategy, we are unlocking new tools to help Regions and its teams make an even greater impact."
