Andson Money

Program Overview

Andson Money provides a series of in-class financial literacy lessons to K-12 students. Young adults facing life-changing choices need a knowledge base and realistic guidelines to make wise financial decisions. We have produced curriculum with lessons that range from Needs vs. Wants, to Using Credit Wisely, to Paying for College. For many of our kids, this is the first time they have been exposed to the concept of budgeting, and we are finding that they are taking these lessons home to their parents. Andson Money addresses these crucial issues, and we believe in making social mobility something that is possible for even the most disadvantaged youth in our community.

Student and Volunteer Success Stories

"I learned that I can start with my financial goals now and not later in life. It opened my eyes to how to get started and how to manage a budget. I always thought I would like to live check to check, but now I understand the concept of saving money for later and not just now. I learned how banks can actually be convenient and not as bad as I thought they were. I learned that my financial goal is up to me now."
