A demand for personal financial literacy resources has never been greater, and Empower A Youth is developing an ever-expanding list of programs to help students understand their own personal financial literacy and prepare them for the future.
Empowering youth in real life financial and entrepreneurial matters through mentorship, leadership and community.

AMAZING PRESENTATION
STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
Helping our youth gain confidence, learn valuable skills and create powerful connections.
Financial literacy and commencing financial education at an early age is imperative to preserving your valuable time and giving yourself options. Without the value of a financial education, which in my case was almost entirely self-taught, my family’s lives would be very different.
