Money Smart Kids: Financial Literacy Starts Early
ncarol.com/10292656

RALEIGH, N.C. - ncarol.com -- Happy Financial Literacy Month! April is Financial Literacy Month—a national initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of managing money wisely and building strong financial habits.

Despite living in one of the most advanced economies in the world, only 17% of U.S. adults report taking a personal finance class in high school, leaving the vast majority of youth unprepared to manage their money, budget, or make smart financial decisions.

Starting financial literacy young not only helps build smart money habits, but also strengthens problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making—skills needed for life. Foundational money skills are an imperative today given that children are growing up in an increasingly complex financial world—one where digital payments, loans, online shopping and cryptocurrency are the norm.

STEM For Kids® is leading the charge by bringing financial literacy directly to children through creative and engaging enrichment opportunities.
