SFEPD Academy

The fourth annual SFEPD Academy took place from July 21-25, offering high school students a dynamic virtual experience focused on financial literacy and professional development. Students from 10 states and an international student from India came together to participate in group and individual challenges that broadened their horizons and boosted their financial knowledge.

SFEPD Academy helps students enhance essential skills such as communication, leadership, team building, professional development, marketing, and more. It was an inspiring week of growth, learning, and collaboration for these young minds!
