FINANCIAL LITERACY
Preparing
the Next Generation
Being Good with Money Doesn't Come Naturally
The topic of money can seem huge and overwhelming and it doesn't help that most High School curriculums don't cover practical finance skills.
​
Actually, only 17 states require schools to teach some level of financial literacy.
​
That's why we developed Money 101,
a free financial literacy program that starts with the basics - helping students take the first step towards feeling financially literate and independent.
