Financial Literacy Program for disadvantaged students

The reason I chose my project is because of the large impact I would have on students who would attend my class. Financial literacy rates are extremely low in the USA so, considering that finance is my interest and that it is a necessary thing, I decided to teach students about it. My project consisted of two identical financial literacy classes for disadvantaged middle schoolers at the local library. The students learned about financial literacy got goodie bags, played financial literacy games (Financial Jeopardy, Payday, etc) and had lunch. The impact of the project is that now 45+ students are educated in one of the most vital topics in modern society. Hopefully, now these students will learn to be smarter with their money and maybe I inspired a financial literacy interest in them. They could possibly teach their friends and then the inspiration and knowledge has spread even more.
