Financial Literacy is the ability to understand how money works in the world: how someone earns money, how that person manages money and how they invest money to grow and create more money.

Topics Covered:

*Savings
*Budgeting
*Credit
*Taxes

Our mission is to equip our youth with the fundamentals of money so that they can avoid many of the financial pitfalls adults make that were never afforded this special opportunity to learn about money as a youth!
