LEARN ·2023 Grants ChallengeEmpowering LA Youth through Personal Finance
Leveraging the power of film & storytelling, we will empower high school students in LA County with culturally relevant financial resources and learning opportunities. We'll pair an educational version of our feature documentary, THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE, from our award-winning studio, with a bespoke curriculum created specifically for Angelenos. Reaching around 100,000 students and thousands of educators with this program, we hope to improve the financial knowledge of our local youth and contribute to their long-term economic advancement.
