The Wise & Whys of Money-Empowering Girls Through Financial Literacy

A special event designed to inspire girls in grades 3 through high school to build confidence and learn real-life money skills—including saving, spending, and earning—and understand their power to make smart financial decisions.

Through interactive breakout sessions, showcases, discussions, and activities, participants will select breakout rooms organized by the following:
