About Us
We believe access to financial empowerment education is critical to overcoming systemic economic barriers.
Without adequate financial education, students are more likely to struggle with debt, financial stress and limited economic mobility. In Connecticut, fewer than 20% of public high schools guaranteed a personal finance class to students in 2024.
By equipping students with essential financial skills, we empower them to build a more secure and prosperous future.
Our free programs provide access to personal finance education including budgeting, banking, credit, affording college, insurance, and investing. We also offer exciting opportunities for students to explore investing, entrepreneurship and career pathways.
