Money Camp
The word EMPOWER means "to supply or equip with the ability". Kids don't realize they're not getting the information they need because they don't know they need it until they become adults and are responsible for their own financial lives and finally realize they haven't a clue what to do with their money.

As an not-for-profit organization, we want to be there to supply kids with the information that leads to the ability to be financially independent. One of our goals is to touch as many lives as possible with our information and that means both promoting financial literacy and providing tools to teach it. The Money Camp for Kids Curriculum was designed to help us reach these goals!
