Project snapshot
Growing Through Wisdom: Transforms middle schoolers into bilingual financial liaisons through six hands-on modules on banking, budgeting, savings, credit, investing, and certification. The program uses culturally relevant English/Spanish instruction to expand family financial inclusion, reduce unbanked rates among immigrant households, and raise youth financial literacy. Students practice real-world tasks—account use, money management, and credit comprehension—and relay skills to caregivers, amplifying community economic resilience and access to formal financial services.
