What are teens saying about Money Coach?
“I like that the coaches were open about the struggles they overcame or getting over. They actually cared and wanted to help me plan my future. I’m excited to now work on these things on my own.”
“My favorite thing from Money Coach was having a relationship with a coach and really going to someone who cares to further your goals and feeling really valued. I enjoyed learning about many things but a lot one on one to get a deeper understanding.”
“If we had any concerns or questions about anything, the Money Coaches were able to give us examples to help us understand it more. I also enjoyed getting one on one times with our coaches to discuss small goals we set for ourselves. Because of that, I am still continuing to work on those goals at the moment even after the Money Coach program.”
“My favorite things about the program is how engaged the coaches were with us students. I learned a lot of important things that will help me save and make better decisions responsibly.”
