Young Women & Money Conference
This event that creates a welcoming, empowering space for young women and gender-expansive youth to build confidence, community and financial literacy.
In today’s world, financial information can feel overwhelming, confusing or even out of reach. This conference offers an alternative: an accessible, supportive environment where participants can learn practical tools, hear inspiring stories and connect with mentors who understand the challenges women face.
Throughout the day, attendees will engage in discussions and networking opportunities designed to break down barriers around money. Topics range from budgeting and saving to entrepreneurship, credit building and financial wellness - offered in ways that feel relatable and relevant.
This year’s conference will also serve as the kickoff to a new series of financial literacy workshops offered throughout the year, giving participants the opportunity to continue learning, deepening their knowledge and building community long after the event ends.
By the end of the conference, participants leave with not only financial resources but also a stronger sense of community and empowerment. Together, we aim to spark new conversations about money, success and the power of financial independence as a tool for personal and collective liberation.
