A3: By starting money conversations, where we break down barriers and let each other know that money is a tool and a process—you’re not wrong, you’re not bad at money, and you’re not alone. Our programs are community cyphers where everyone is a learner and a leader. #CreditChat

A4: We envision a world where financial education is as prevalent as reading programs and our shared money stories shift narratives that have held back our communities for generations. #StudentVoices Why Talk About Money Word Cloud #CreditChat

A5: Money is emotional and resources are limited. In classrooms, our educators and students are actively innovating out of necessity. We embrace collaboration to make change happen. We never want money to be the reason we’re not talking and teaching about money. #CreditChat
