Without intentionally exposing young children to financial concepts and educating pre-teens and teens on proper money management practices, they will inevitably pick up poor money habits. We don\u2019t want to leave our youth\u2019s future financial management skills to chance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Operation HOPE offers programs for both school-age youth as well as young adults so we can provide age-appropriate financial education during a young person\u2019s formative years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"title-bottom-border-sm wp-block-heading\">School-Age Youth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To meet the needs of the community in the midst of and post COVID-19, Operation HOPE created and launched a virtual model for school-age youth programs. The virtual model creates the opportunity to gain real-time feedback that has also allowed us to learn ways to engage with communities and young people digitally regardless of geographical location or available technology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, the school-age youth programs are currently undergoing a transformation to amplify our impact through scalable programming and support options that include the expansion of our digital technology infrastructure, development of engaging, research-based curriculum and implementation of groundbreaking models in youth financial literacy education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/operationhope.org\/initiatives\/atlanta-child-savings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Atlanta Child Savings Accounts Program<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"title-bottom-border-sm wp-block-heading\">Young Adults<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Young adult learners (learners in their late teens and early 20\u2019s) experience emerging financial independence within a short period of time, creating a unique opportunity to build positive financial behaviors and foster a healthy financial mindset.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the course of the year, young adults participate in a combination of group education workshops, group coaching sessions, and 1:1 coaching. Programming for this age group is tailored to help them better understand financial topics that are relevant to planning for the future including: budgeting, savings, credit and debt reduction, income and benefits, identity protection, student loans, and the emotions of money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Helping the next generation make smart money decisions&nbsp; Instilling good money management skills in youth and young adults Young adults and youth who receive money management education when the principles &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"parent":14,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"views\/template-inner.blade.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-182","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/operationhope.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/182"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/operationhope.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/operationhope.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/operationhope.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/operationhope.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=182"}],"version-history":[{"count":31,"href":"https:\/\/operationhope.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/182\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":253039,"href":"https:\/\/operationhope.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/182\/revisions\/253039"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/operationhope.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/operationhope.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
