Community Engagement
A financial literacy education program is one of the most effective ways to help our youth navigate through the multitude of financial decisions they will need to make in this ever-increasing complex world of personal finance. Teaching our youth effective money management skills gives them a foundation for a successful life.
Unfortunately, not enough school districts provide financial education to our kids. If you are interested in being an advocate for more financial literacy education in your local school system Fast Lane is an excellent source of information. Developed by experts at the George Washington University School of Business, Fast Lane is a free resource designed to promote financial education in our schools.
Whether you are a parent, student, teacher, administrator, community member, or policy maker, the website at Fast Lane provides step-by-step instructions and toolkits to help you ensure our youth are prepared to make smart decisions about money.
