Youth Financial Education & Empowerment

Supporting our youth and young adults as they develop the knowledge, skills, and mindset to become financially empowered adults is a legacy more valuable than money.

Generation Make Smart Money

Youth and Young Adults who receive money management education when the principles are most relevant to their stage of life, are more likely to take those skills into adulthood. Without intentionally exposing young children to financial concepts and educating pre-teens and teens on proper money management practices, they will inevitably pick up poor money habits.

“We don’t want to leave our
youth’s future financial
management skills to chance”

The WiseAnt Group offers programs for both school-age youth as well as young adults (college students), so we can provide age-appropriate financial education during a young person’s formative years.

School-Age Youth [13-17]

We work with churches, schools and their administration throughout the year to educate young people on how to manage their money and be financially empowered for the future.

 

In addition to our onsite WiseAnt Youth Programs, we have created and launched a virtual model for school-age youth programs to meet the needs of the community in the midst of and post COVID-19. The virtual model creates the opportunity to continue to deliver financial education and programming to our youth, as well as gain real-time feedback that has also allowed us to learn ways to engage with communities and young people digitally regardless of geographical location.

Young Adults [18-24]

Young adult learners (learners in their late teens and early 20’s) experience emerging financial independence within a short period of time, creating a unique opportunity to build positive financial behaviors and foster a healthy financial mindset.

 

Over the course of the year, young adults participate in a combination of group education workshops, group coaching sessions, and 1:1 instruction. Programming for this age group is tailored to help them better understand financial topics that are relevant to planning for the future including: student loans, budgeting, savings, investing, credit and debt reduction, income and benefits, identity protection, building their credit score, and the emotions of money.
