WorldofMoney's curriculum, which aligns with ELA and Common Core standards for competency, teaches my students how to manage their money and how to establish a business. My students learned a life skill that will propel them toward their future endeavors, and I am eternally grateful.

World of Money has taught me how to build financial security for my and my family’s life. Saving? Investing? Compound interest? Most adults don’t know these things, and my learning about finance at such a young age—financial responsibility and how money works-- puts me at a great advantage.

Because of the WorldofMoney, I now know that financial education doesn’t just affect the amount of money I have. At age 14, my financial choices begin now, and encourage my parents to do the same. "
World of Money provided 55 young people of the Gary Comer Youth Center, in Chicago, Illinois, with 15 hours of financial education instruction and activities over the course of one month. As a result, our young people developed a stronger understanding of basic financial concepts such as money management, budgeting, saving, debt, investing, giving, and more. In addition, the WorldofMoney program created the foundation for our young people to build strong money habits earlier on in life. Our young people are so very fortunate to have WorldofMoney willing to invest in their talent and help them realize their full potential in life.

We value collaborating with WorldofMoney.org because they provide an after-school financial education that has been providing young people of diverse backgrounds, including a large number of disadvantaged children and families, the opportunity to break a generational cycle of poverty and to change the way they view money. The RBS, World of Money.org and families should work together to promote the health, well-being and learning of all students. WorldofMoney.org involves faculty, parents and the community with financial education so that parents and families are able to respond more effectively to the economic needs of students. Professional development is critical to our relationship with WorldofMoney and would be possible if they could create workshops that build capacity in staff and parents.

We appreciate WorldofMoney because we know these financial concepts most adults will learn later in their lives or never at all - So it is good to know them early so my daughter doesn’t fall into the traps of getting into debt or not having enough money for emergencies or even for her retirement.

Attending World of Money has greatly affected my life. It has helped me find my love for finance. Through the many lessons it helped give me essential foundations for a field I am going to break through in. World of Money has also helped find me a mentor in the finance industry, Joseph Edmondson. Before attending World of Money I had an interest for financial matters. What World of Money helped me with is how financial news effects to my life. After the session I could fully understand the financial news of the week. Now I am looking forward to Monday to see what new news there is and connect it to my life. World of Money also taught me how there is a benefit to donating. If one donates to a 501(c)(3) organization they can get tax deductions. It also taught me that you must always give back to those who don’t have. After attending World of Money for three years my love for finance has grown. From World of Money, I’ve found that I am determined to be an investment banker. I want to be the mastermind behind major financial news in the future; I love analyzing data and figuring out what it means. Before this year’s session of World of Money I reached out to a number of executives from investment banks in the city to be a mentor to me. I was very fortunate to receive a response from the Vice Chairman of a major international investment firm. He was very pleased to receive a letter from a young person interested in his field of work and would be happy to take me on as his mentee.
