"Early financial education can equip children with practical skills that are crucial for their future financial decisions. It can foster financial responsibility, help them avoid debt, and understand the necessity of planning and saving for future goals.  Introducing them to fundamental financial concepts like budgeting, saving, investing, and understanding the value of money, prepares them for real-world situations involving money, providing them with tools to make informed decisions."  -EVERFI 
​
"Exploring interests and talents inside and outside the classroom is one way to enhance engagement and help make kids ready for their futures."  We also must prepare students to be healthy and active participants in our economy by sharing information and encouraging behaviors that help students navigate an increasingly complex economy and understand their best path forward to their own unique futures.  -Gallup (Calderon & Hodges)
