Leadership in Financial Education (LIFE) provides aspiring youth from under-represented and under-resourced communities with experiential training workshops designed to encourage life-long financial responsibility. LIFE collaborates with New York City businesses to offer professional internship opportunities in conjunction with its financial teachings. LIFE participants gain skills and knowledge to equip them to make sound financial decisions which will positively impact their present-day success as well as the livelihood of future generations.
The LIFE Workshop Series for high school juniors and seniors spans six financial literacy topics over the course of a school semester. Each workshop features a topic-focused financial literacy lesson which is reinforced by activities and discussion.
The fall 2024 program will begin in early October, concluding in mid-December. The program application will be open beginning on September 1, 2024 and the application deadline is September 27, 2024.
Participants will have the opportunity to network with peers from other schools as well as young professional volunteers from top firms in the New York City legal, financial, and marketing communities.
