Investing in Our Future Leaders
Baker Boyer is passionate about financial education because it entails critical concepts that can be used in many aspects of life. Introducing the youth to these financial competencies early on will aid them in becoming well-versed adults.
Finance Academy by Baker Boyer teaches students critical concepts around budgeting, credit cards, student loans, retirement plans, taxes, stocks, mortgages, and more. The initiative helps build essential life skills for young people on the brink of adulthood and could lead those who complete the program to one of three $1,000 scholarships.
Schools are invited to participate at no cost, providing teachers training, tools and support and students a pathway to financial comprehension. "Baker Boyer is committed to empowering the youth in our community with the financial knowledge they need to build a strong future, which is why we partnered with EVERFI to create Finance Academy by Baker Boyer,” Chris Christianson, Credit Administration Specialist, said.
