Youth Financial Fitness Leadership Program (YFF)
The
need for financial literacy for young people prompted the need to
create this program which empowers and educates high school students in
all aspects of financial literacy through participation in:
• 5 week (8hrs per week) of evening financial literacy classes
• 8 week (10hrs per week) as an intern with a private or government
entity (gaining work experience and will be provided a $72 stipend per
week)
The knowledge from the financial literacy classes will allow them
to become more financially savvy to help them better manage
their finances and make more informed choices in regard to money.
The internship experience will provide exposure to a career and
mentoring opportunities with professionals that can make a
difference in their lives.
