Financial Literacy for Middle & High School Students?
It Isn't Working.

"Highly Conflicted"* financial institutions that benefit when consumers make money mistakes provide most financial literacy training. Right now, that problem can be fixed here in New York.

Our Solution

* Time Magazine's Dan Kadlec said it best: Financial literacy education is "funded in large part by highly conflicted banks and other financial institutions."

Our Solution
