This program is designed to educate our youth on importance of financial literacy. Many of our children fail to exhibit the much needed skills that could lead them to the road of financial freedom.
According to Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy, the average student who graduates from high school lacks basic skills in the management of personal financial affairs.
