Amy told us that if she could go back in time, she'd learn some basic financial life skills in high school. While she was able to learn some from her parents, that's not the case for everyone. We're working to bring these kinds of skills to every high schooler in California.

According to this article in Cal Matters, “a 2022 survey of adults nationwide showed that nearly 90% support a financial literacy requirement in high school, and nearly as many wished they had taken such a course when they were students.”   calmatters.org/education/k-1…
