As we close out a year that was a little different than we planned, we remain so grateful for all of you: the volunteers, educators, and supporters who continue to make our work possible. We wish you a safe and joyful holiday season! We're already looking forward to 2021 - see below for opportunities coming up to ring in the new year with teen financial empowerment.

If you want a safe, high-impact way to make a difference in the lives of young people in our community, this is the opportunity you’re looking for! Money Coach, specifically designed for teens from underserved communities, is our one-of-a-kind financial mentoring program. For the spring 2021 semester, Money Coach will be fully virtual. Small groups of teens are matched with teams of volunteer mentors, who meet with them via Zoom over several weeks, guiding them through an in-depth financial literacy curriculum. This is an opportunity for you to forge a personal connection with teens and help them on the path to lifelong financial capability.
