Building the Financial Capability of Young Americans

Guided by the principle that all young Americans should be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to make smart decisions about their finances, this book offers recommendations for government, individual commitments to action, and best practices for improving the financial capability of the nation's youth. The book also addresses frequently asked questions that may arise as financial institutions collaborate with schools, local and state governments, non-profits, or corporate entities to facilitate youth savings and financial education programs.
