Securing futures with Financial Literacy
Surveys show that most American adults report having financial anxiety and lacking basic financial literacy skills.
At the same time, less than one-quarter of American children say they talk to their parents frequently about money, and 35% say that their parents are uncomfortable talking to them about money.
P2C Financial Literacy curriculum was created to bridge those gaps.
