My Project

This project will provide financial literacy books, games, and activity sets for my students that will empower them, no matter their socio-economic or cultural background. They will come away knowing that they can succeed in life with the right tools for financial literacy.

They will learn about money, innovation, and entrepreneurship, tapping into 21st-century skills to manage money and build generational wealth.

We are looking to enhance their vital life skills, improve their financial knowledge, and dream big, no matter what their starting point is.

Help our diverse student body grow to be confident money managers and get them on the path to financial freedom in life!
