Investing in Knowledge: Financial Literacy for K-12

Financial Literacy & Financial Education for K-12 Students

According to Forbes, 87% of teens say they don't really understand their personal finances (2022). The need for financial literacy programs is undeniable. As of January 2024, twenty-five U.S. states require financial education for high school students to graduate; many more have bills pending.

Prepare students for their financial future

Financial education is more than dollars and cents. It’s about establishing better spending habits, instilling confidence, and equipping the next generation with the real-world skills to manage financial goals and milestones.

How are we doing this?

FAI raised initial funding from friends and family to jumpstart the initiative. We have also worked with a financial institution to grant some money towards purchasing teaching tools that help in the process of educating teens on Financial concepts. We have also spearheaded chapter enrollment initiative to recruit interested students from various school districts worldwide to create FAI school chapters in respective institutions. Together with the resources we created and the leadership team at FAI, we have successfully enabled FAI school chapters to teach / mentor members in their local chapters.
