New Birmingham City Schools program to teach students financial literacy
The City of Birmingham has invested $1 million for a financial literacy initiative that will benefit Birmingham area students. Funds will help to launch a partnership with Birmingham City Schools, IMC Financial Consulting, and the Goalsetter savings app for what will be called the BHM Financial Freedom Project. Participating scholars will gain lifelong financial skills, receive coaching, and create their own stock portfolio.
“The time is now to ensure that our youth are the most financially prepared and successful generation our country has produced,” said Birmingham Mayor Randall L. Woodfin. “We have both a professional and moral responsibility to ensure the academic and financial success of our students. Their participation in our local, national and global economy is critical to the future of our community and our country, and it is our responsibility to cement their financial foundation as a cornerstone of their financial well-being.”
