Our President and CEO, Brenda Campbell, reflects on the current financial literacy landscape and looks ahead to what comes next. What needs are still unmet? Where are the signs of hope and progress? What do we envision for the next 15 years of financial education?

There are so many ways to support teens who are striving for financial capability, from contributing financially to volunteering your time to spreading the word about our mission. Will you choose one simple, high-impact action to take today? Check out our "ways to help" guide to become part of the solution!

We had the honor of nominating Dr. Keith Posley, Superintendent of Milwaukee Public Schools, for the Governor’s Financial Literacy Award, which he received this month in a special virtual ceremony with Governor Tony Evers and First Lady Kathy Evers. We’re so grateful for Dr. Posley’s partnership and visionary leadership in working towards our shared goal of equipping every MPS student with the financial education they need to succeed. We were also excited to see other SecureFutures partners recognized with the award, including Marti Diaz, MPS Financial Literacy Teacher Mentor, and Tony Capozziello, educator at Beloit Memorial and Money Path champion. Congratulations to all the winners!
