New Jersey's first-ever Teen Teach-In
NGPF's recap of the first-ever Teen Teach-In event in New Jersey, hosted by Futures Financials with Jump$tart.
Read the recap →Futures Financials — Financial confidence for every student, everywhere.
Futures Financials brings hands-on, student-led financial education to classrooms and communities across 7 countries, because every student deserves to understand money before they need to use it.
The Problem
In 20 states, students can graduate without ever learning how money works.
Only 30 of 50 states guarantee every public high school student a personal finance course before graduation. Everywhere else, learning about money is left to chance, and that gap is exactly why Futures Financials exists.
