Dec. 7, 2020
Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist II today announced that Henry Ford College and Dearborn Public Schools have launched the state’s first Financial Empowerment Curriculum that teaches our youth the basic principles of managing their money.
The pilot program represents the beginning of anticipated programs and partnerships between Michigan’s school districts and community colleges. Financial empowerment means having the skills and knowledge to make informed and effective decisions with available financial resources, like creating a budget, saving money and paying bills.
“Empowering our youth with an understanding about money will pay dividends for our future,”
