Today, we participated with PASE (Partnership for After School Education) at the CUNY Baruch campus. We advocated our mission and highlighted the significance of financial literacy for high school students. Financial literacy is a crucial skill that can empower young people to make informed decisions about their finances, setting them up for success in the future.

Thank you, PASE, for helping us promote what we do and learn more about other organizations here to educate our community differently. Discovering more about organizations focused on pre-K to high schoolers can provide valuable insights and potential collaborations. It's essential to build a network within your community to collectively address the needs of different age groups and ensure comprehensive support and resources are available for everyone.
