FINANCIAL KICK START JUST BECAUSE ITS JUST AN OPPORTUNITY
Testimonial
JBJO Financial Literacy Youth Summit Downtown Greenville Partnered w/ Wells Fargo
FINANCIAL KICK START JUST BECAUSE ITS JUST AN OPPORTUNITY
Today's youth are put in different situations where they have to make financial decisions. Are they financially literate? To be financially literate means the person is able to use their knowledge and skills to manage financial resources effectively which will lead to lifetime benefits.
​
Less than 1/2 of the 50 states in America require personal finance classes for students to graduate from high school. How will the youth across America get the information they need to understand how to manage their finances? Connect with Financial Kick Start Just Because its Just an Opportunity (JBJO)!

SERVICES
The future success of today's youth is greatly determined by their ability to take ownership of their financial livelihood. Unfortunately for many, financial literacy education is scarce, if not completely unavailable.
​
Walter Updegrave, senior editor of Money magazine, points out that nearly half of workers had saved less than fifty grand for retirement, and 15 percent had not saved a single cent. Looking beyond the financial literacy statistics, consider what this means to the 65% of people he referred to. The reality for many is that their senior years will not be so golden and a majority of those will struggle financially due to financial illiteracy.
​
In a poll conducted by the National Financial Educators Council – Adults age 35 to 54 were asked “Have you ever been turned down for a job or promotion as a result of your credit or financial background?” Of the 1,165 who responded to the first question, 5.2% stated that they had been turned down for a job due to their financial profiles (with 18.2% responding “not sure”).
​
When asked about our organization inspiration, I, Stacey Oliver, noted that "the trend of financial struggle and financial ignorance will continue to filter and recycle through the families simply because financial literacy is not being taught in most homes and/or schools of the youth." Financial Kick Start JBJO is aimed at ending this cycle.
