Your MONEY, Your FUTURE
Your MONEY, Your FUTURE Program – Enables teens to understand vital personal finance, saving, and investing principles — knowledge that will empower them for a future of successful financial management. Our students learn skills in banking, budgeting, and being a wise consumer, as well as how to avoid overuse of credit.
This program emphasizes the benefits of saving for short-term goals and the value of investing to meet long-term goals. Teens also learn to read The Wall Street Journal, research potential investments, and minimize risk by diversifying their financial portfolios.
Students enjoy field trips, games, activities and guest speakers, as well as competing in the YoungBiz Portfolio Challenge, where they team up to create and present financial portfolios to a panel of experts. Equipped with practical life skills to handle money, campers will continue to demonstrate what they’ve learned about money long after this camp experience.
