Financial Literacy For Kids (Part 3)

Help me give my students the tools needed to learn about saving and investing.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Chapman's classroom raised $644

My Project

Financial literacy is as important a skill as reading, writing, and math skills are, and thus everyone should have knowledge about it in order to survive the complex financial world. However, research shows that the United States has low levels of financial literacy, especially for people with lower education and income. Research indicates that financial education is needed at all ages in order to avoid costly mistakes that can lead to long-term impacts on younger people.

I will continue to teach financial literacy skills using various subjects including math, reading comprehension, research, risk evaluation, and corporate data - in a fun, gamified, and life-changing way!

We will pull back the curtain on how the financial ecosystem works, by putting real tools into the hands of students, helping them to build stronger financial futures.
