Money Confident Kids
Money Confident Kids® (MCK) is a free, five-step program to help middle school students understand long-term wealth building concepts and that every economic decision is associated with a time horizon. By teaching kids financial education at a young age, they can make informed choices throughout their lives and plan for a more secure future.
The program focuses on three key areas: learning good financial habits early, having regular talks about money matters, and improving confidence among educators, parents, and kids.
