Youth Financial Education Act

The Youth Financial Education Act (S. 807) would provide federal funding to states and local school districts to establish personal financial literacy programs for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. These programs are designed to teach students essential life skills, such as budgeting, saving, and managing credit, while also providing professional development for teachers to effectively lead these lessons. Additionally, the bill would create a national clearinghouse to share high-quality instructional materials and best practices for financial education with schools across the country.
