Teen Financial Empowerment

High school teens learn financial basics that can set them up for life: budgeting, banking, saving for college, establishing credit and more. The workshops are held at schools in low-income areas in Oakland and Berkeley to help teens take the first step towards financial independence.

Education is our goal

Financial literacy empowers low-income teens to make smart money decisions, break the cycle of poverty, and build a more secure future.

Make it stand out.

By understanding budgeting, saving, credit, and investing early on, they gain the tools to take control of their financial lives and create lasting change.
