While our programming is designed for residents ages 18+, we provide financial literacy education for youth upon request and availability. We have worked with local youth groups like Ai3 Leadership Academy to develop knowledge, skills, and habits as a stepping stone to a young person’s path to adult financial well-being. Please contact Maybeth Morales-Davis (maybeth@nestct.org) to learn more about partnering with NEST to uplift your youth.
