Community Partners

Partner With Us to Strengthen RGV Families

South Texas Insurance Education Initiative (STIEI) partners with businesses, schools, workforce programs, cities/counties, and nonprofits to deliver no-cost, bilingual insurance education your people can actually use.

Partnership Models

    • Host a Workshop: You provide the audience; we provide the curriculum, slide deck, materials, and presenter.
    • Series Programming: Quarterly or monthly sessions (e.g., Life 101 → Health Plan Basics → Auto Myths → Homeowners 101).
    • Co-Branded Resources: Flyers, sign-ups, post-session checklists with your logo and ours.
    • Referral Pathway (opt-in): Attendees who want extra help can request a 1:1 with a licensed professional.

          What Partners Get

            • Turn-key logistics (agenda, registration/Zoom text, reminder emails)
            • Bilingual slides + printable takeaways (EN/ES)

            • Flexible delivery: lunch-and-learn, staff PD, parent night, evening/weekend
