Financial LITERACY PROGRAM

 

Application Deadline: September 6, 2024

​

Atlanta GLOW's financial literacy program aims to educate and empower young people to take control of their financial future. In just 90 - 120 minutes per week over a 6-week period, we teach youth and young adults all the basics of finance—including how to make money, budget and save—in easy to understand terms. Each lesson in the curriculum provides a unique, engaging approach to financial literacy that meets youth/young adults where they are, and helps them apply their knowledge to gradually more complex scenarios.
