Financial literacy is a critical life skill that empowers young people to make informed, confident decisions about money. For youth understanding budgeting, saving, credit, and debt management can be the difference between stability and struggle. Financial literacy not only builds confidence but also lays the foundation for long-term success, helping young adults avoid common financial pitfalls and take control of their futures. By investing in financial education, we’re not just teaching dollars and cents—we're helping build independence, opportunity, and lasting security.
