As schools across Colorado wrap up their school year, we want to give a huge THANK YOU to the teachers, educators, and school partners who've made financial literacy possible for more than 6,000 students this year 💙📚💰

Through Youthentity’s I Am Financial Knowledge program, students at over 100 schools learned real-world life skills like budgeting, saving, investing, credit, and financial decision making, all through engaging, hands-on workshops.

None of this would be possible without the amazing educators who bring our program into their classrooms and believe in preparing students for life beyond school. Thank you for partnering with us!

📣 Want to bring FREE financial literacy workshops to your school or classroom next year? Share this post with a teacher friend! Learn more at https://www.youthentity.org/financial-literacy or email [email protected].

She’s at it again, folks 👏🍇🧀

Our talented Youthentity Culinary Academy student, Evony Mejia, brought her creativity and professional-level presentation skills to the Carbondale Chamber of Commerce gathering yesterday at the Launchpad with this stunning charcuterie board.

If Evony’s name sounds familiar, it’s because she recently won the Colorado Restaurant Association ProStart® Italco Charcuterie Board & Hors D’oeuvre Competition and continues to impress everywhere she goes. From state championships to national competitions to real-world catering experiences right here in our community, Evony is turning passion into purpose one plate at a time.
We are so proud to watch her talent, confidence, and creativity continue to grow. The future is bright for this young chef ✨👩‍🍳

Her dedication to empowering students and building brighter futures has made a lasting difference across the Roaring Fork Valley.

After bringing the first National Civics Bee to the Roaring Fork Valley this year, we’ve seen firsthand how excited young people are to learn about their communities, share ideas, and engage in civic life. 🇺🇸✨
